My Bn Recce Plt used FOX when in 19 Inf Bde. I served in every position in the crew, started as a Dvr ended up as a section Comd. Bloody loved it. We never had one roll, they were okay cross country. We did an exercise (can’t remember the name of it or the Cav unit we worked with) at SPTA where we worked with Sqn of Challie 1s practicing advancing to contact and also withdrawing. We mostly kept up with them. My wagon and crew also had a day with the RAF. We helped rig the wagon for lifting (at Knook Camp) and then it was lifted by CHINOOK and flown to Copehill. It would have been great if FOX could have been fitted with something like TOGS or even the BGTI rather than the II it had. I have some of our old wagons on these pages over the years.
