  1. Roy, not really my thing. Rather than try to answer them all here are a few answers I'm confident about.

     

    1. The original VPK for 3/4 Ton was I think was designated GRP Kit DON/130. The Sankey design for upgrade of this to FV984569 (ie HV VPK) was issued in Nov 1980. A major upgrade with new side doors & front protection plates is dated March 1982.

     

    2. Correct, owners fancy I think.

     

    4. Just chance I think, some VPK panels may have come from different vehicles.

     

    6. No, owners fancy I think. I've seen the one you mean.

     

    7. Neither, NATO Green

     

    8. By that you mean Glover Webb APV? Not sure need to check that out.

     

    Just an add piglets well some of them did carry blues lights ..I've done 5 tours over the water back on the 1980s and blue lights were carried on the icp wagon for example ..search team vehicles....so not just confined to rmp/RAF police

  4. Hi guys

     

    I'm trying to get my head around the WMIK so I hope you can help with some the more technical side of it...I know theres the WMIK, E-WMIK and now the R-WMIK but when did each come into service/replace the other(s)? I also have a basic idea but what are differances exactly? Also; did the very early ones (say Sierra Leone/Macedonia) carry the spare on the bonnet like the Wolf or has it always been on the side?

     

    I'm sure I saw a photo from Sierra Leone with one on the bonnet?

     

    Cheers

    Hello martyn.

    i think that the veh you refer to in sierra leone is not a wmik, their is a well known pic of an sas lr out there showing a tyre on the bonnet.

    wolf versions have almost always had them on the side, except for version like the pulse

    which very occasionally had them on the bonnet.
