Pictures are good! My workshop body on my Daf has a canvas stripp along the roof that clips to a canvas of somesort on plastic buckles. It could be that type! Also the RB44s have a bigger version of the 9x9 landrover tent!

Yep was told the same as it was paint they had in theatre. Just mix and match!

Beltring/Westernhanger spot!!!!

We bought one of the Dutch Airportables in the last but one tender , as others have said , ok condition but not exceptional and certainly not unissued . Ours has as bit of corrosion but not too bad , didn't pay anywhere near their quoted price though . Can't speak for all of them but ours does have the Dutch issue top .

The ones in the tender have doors and tilt and frame laid in the back!

Excellent post. Somebody needed to say it.

Jeff

+1 for me aswell

You can find one of the yard guys and they can start it for you. They are usually more than happy to help, and will even jump start, as long as you don't go mad and want loads of vehicles starting!

Had a look round the drops today and didnt think there was a runner amongst them:( Most stuff up there looked to be on the tatty side! 2-3 good landrovers 6-8 Dafs(4X4) 1 Drops no CVRTs 1 CET even the spares looked poor(the steering boxes and gearboxes and engines excluded)

One truck has its running board hanging loose.

I remember the truck catching it driving through one of the holes in the arena! He was following one of the 6X6 volvos and they seem to go anywhere.

Cheers for posting the Videos.

Was doing the rounds of trials in Europe, FVRDE had it for one month in 1964 although the front of the report says it was 1965!

 

"The propulsive efficiency of FV430 is substantially better than the FMC vehicle"

 

"Steering ahead of the FMC is satisfactory and similar to M113 and FV430"

 

Although

 

"Steering astern of FMC is also satisfactory again similar to M113 and very much better than FV430"

 

"The excellent vision through the FMC periscopes was nullified by the absence of any wipers"

 

"There was no ventilation system"

 

IR Vision

 

"No attempt has been made in the design ....to give the field of view requested"

 

"The identification range also falls far short of the requirement stated"

 

Although

 

"The amount of space available to the crew and the good entry and escape hatches. This can only be described as luxurious compared to a three man Ferret"........well yes but that wasn't what it was being compared with in the trials!

Cheers Clive great info!

Suprised that a 432 was better in the water:red: I would have thought that the Lynx would have been more agile/faster.

Nice pics. Is it a trail for UK use seeing the trade plates on it?

M114 Lynx! Must be good in the water!

looks M113 based looking at the skirts. Is it a jet drive outlet?

Funny to see that they have PSP's on the front and not the fancy sand channels!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh its restricted that must mean it an SAS unit:D I'll paint 21 on the door and it will all fit. Cheers for looking do you know what the training wing do?

Bloody hell Phil are you in the pub on the lash:D Wash your mouth out and never mention the W word again.

Oosterbeek is the place to go the locals are great and will love seeing the Jeep!

We always strap the tyres X 4 and keep as low as possible same as cosrec on a M/way live lane nearside only unless safe to do off side

Will do! Mil reg LM29AA any history would be good!!

I think the guy I sold it to did just that:wow:

Ahhh you bought it! Looks an ok truck. Took me ages to find the 106mm I had on the mutt. I'll keep an eye out for one.

Its a standard 6cyl landrover IOE engine bits are getting hard to find for the 6's now. Lovely engine but a tadge thirsty(same as a V8:wow:)

Cheers for the help guys.
