dan110 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The current Witham tender contains some Land Rovers that have "MOD core plant" lettering. What is MOD core plant? Is there any special reason why these Land Rovers have more rust than usual? Would anyone going to the viewing days be willing to take some detailed pictures of the RAF police Station Wagon for me? I wonder if that also came from the MOD core plant and how bad the rust on it is. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted angus Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Daniel, MOD core plant are the vehicles used by the civillian facilities management company at Mount Pleasant airfield in the Falklands. Last year some Bedford MK/J sewage trucks and gully emptiers passed through Withams they were sheds when I saw them at mt pleasant in 1995. Rust is extreme down there! beware TED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front bumper and the side steps show severe rust but the rest of the body looks ok in the one picture they have. I don't know what to make of this.
