If anyone has a spare £49,000 you can buy one on ebay! Looks in pretty good condition as well.

The Stonefields were designed in the old stonefield laundry in Paisley, hence where the name comes from. A family friend was one of the company directors when they where going through the MOD trials. One of the founders of the company was the man who brought the first Volvo trucks into the country as Ailsa Volvo. The family friend still has tons of info on the vehicles from his time with the company. Are there any of these vehicles still around in Scotland?

The way the line is set up is to lessen the load put directly onto the recovery vehicle and its gear. The majority of the load is in a straight line between the CAT and the RB. Some of my team used a similar method to assist a stuck DROPS wagon while on deployment last year. By using a large piece of scrap metal as an anchor along with several snatch blocks on the line, it enabled a straight line pull on the winch lines whilst not overloading the 110's winch too much! They chained and chocked two 110's onto the back of the one with the winch but could have got away with one to help anchor it. By the time i got there the DROPS wagon was nearly out by a combination of using its rack to push it forwards, driving itself and winching. The reccy mechs weren't chuffed when they arrived a short while later to discover it had been recovered by us!!
