Hello everyone I am Dave, I live in Northamptonshire and I am very glad to have joined the forum. I am 63 and between 1969 and 1981 served in the Army with REME as a Radar Techy.
I do not yet own a military vehicle but I do want to buy an Austin Champ some day fairly soon.
I well remember driving Austin K9s, Commers, Bedford RLs and MKs, Land Rovers and the truly exotic Morris 1000 Traveller staff car!!! Unofficially, off-road, I had fun with Stalwarts, 432s, Scammell Explorers, my regret is that I never had a go in either Leyland Martians or Antars.
I am the editor for the Dinky Toys Collectors’ Association and produce their quarterly journal. For this I have recently written a number of short articles on the fabulous range of Dinky military vehicles from the 1950s and 60s.
I still have three or four more articles to write to complete this series and I suspect I will be asking questions as I gather research material.
I hope to be an active member of the group rather than just a reader.
:-)
