    Very cool - what license do you need to drive these? Is it an H for skid steering or can you drive on a car license as there are no tracks to be steered by?

     

    Looks like an ideal vehicle for popping to Tesco's :)

     

    Normal car licence :).

     

    I popped down the shop for a pint of milk in it on Saturday morning......came back a mile offroad - because it can :D.

    so what would have been used for ? in what roll ?

    Moving airdrop supplies from the drop zone to bases, and many other roles. It would carry a pallet on the back, plus had a fork lift pallet trailer, plus a self loading lightweight pallet trailer. It could also tow an air portable fuel container.

     

    It was also used by special forces, and could have a Gimpy mounted on it for fire support.

    They were last used in Afghanistan, retired in 2010.

    Welcome to the Forum David :-)

     

    Interesting Rifles. I bet that sniper no.4 is nice. Is that straight pull SLR a bolt action? On section 1?

     

    Cheers

    Thanks :)

     

     

    The SLR is as original action wise - sliding breech block and carrier activated by the cocking lever - it just has an unported barrel and all the gas mechanism removed. Yes, it is Section 1 :)

    Having seen one in the flesh last Saturday, I decided in about 10 seconds that I wanted a Supacat Mk III :D. Currently on an information gathering exercise ;).

     

    Brief bit about me, 58 years old, I was in the Army and Air Cadets back in the 60's. I shoot, shotguns and rifle, and have an Enfield No 4 (T) sniper rifle and straight pull L1A1 SLR in the cabinet amongst others, largely due to having shot the No 4 and Bren in the Cadets all those years ago, and had a lifelong fondness for them ever since :).

     

    I have been interested in warfare and military vehicles since I was a kid, and the Supacat would make an ideal lamping vehicle for shooting rabbits and foxes :).
