Which book or magazine is this article about the Cummings in?

Wondering if any ex vet has any experience or photos of Stalwarts used in British Army service other than BAOR or UK. I know that two went to Thailand for Operation Mudlark trials, and one of those saw time in Belize. So wonder if anyone has any photos or information please
-
I'll look in to that. Because 94ET45 is parked outside Leconfield, I wonder if it's still all classed as restricted - despite most of it being on eBay - well, scans of scans anyway

Thanks, I forgot the CES as well. I take it the P 400-409 is the EMER code

Just wondered if anyone could tell me the length, width and height of the canvas and of the superstructure of the RB44? Looks to be almost as wide as a Marshall's Bedford body

I have a friend who did his National Service with the Royal Engineers in Germany, between 1953 and 55. He's 80 now, and wonders where his old Scammel 78 RE 91 ended up? Roy was in RHQ MT of 37 Army Engineer Regiment, RE. They were in Winkelhausen Kaserne / Roberts Barracks, in Osnabruck. Any info on this truck would be greatly appreciated. I've had a look, and RLC do have a Key card No 2 for the vehicle - but wondered if anyone else knew anything on this Scammell? Thanks

If this vehicle is based on that experiment, (if that experiment really happened even) then the 5th wheel could be a decoy to confuse people. The alternative being development of a heavy off road towing unit to replace the Scammell Crusader. Bedford was of course killed off by Maggie
