landymad Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi I'm currently fitting my 1972 lightweight out as a parra recce vehicle I have some bits sorted, like the rear gpmg mount and a front one (only the lower section mind) and also two replica gpmg's to go in them but am lacking good images and information on what these would have looked like in service. Does anyone have one that wouldn't mind taking some snaps for me? And does anyone have any information as to what they really looked like and what other bits do I need? Thanks everyone.

airportable Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Also SA80 (A1?) in rifle clips on Wessex image. Yes I noticed that. What is visable of the no. plate may make the Landi a 74-75 build. (but I stand corrected)Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 =================== Probably more - towards '75 to '76 build I took over 77FM51 (a 3/4 ton FFR, callsign 29) in 1977, which was a wreck when B Sqn 15/19H took it over from 1RTR on 19 May 1976. ISTR its history made it no younger than 1973. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 With Lightweights , the list below is quite accurate (from known vrm docs). Other Land Rovers esp.

FG 69-70 FH 69-70 FJ 70-71 ---------------- FK 71,72,73 FL 72-73 FM 73-74 GB 74-75 GF 75-76 GJ 76 GN 77/78 GT 78/79 GX 79 HF 79/80 HG 80 HH 80-81 HJ 81 -------- Tri-service KA 82/83 KB 83/84 KC 84 KD 84 (last built 24 volt but Non-FFR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
