antarmike Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Is this a 101? (it looks like one to my eyes) I knew they were stripped to a degree for airportability, but this seems to have no cab whatsoever! Is this normal? What is going on?

0 honeileen Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 01SP15 was the 101 prototype n. FC4 and was fitted to tow a power trailor and a 105mm behind that! Basically the gun crew in the landrover as shown coupled to a 1 ton trailor driven by a pto for munitons and then a 105mm behind that. http://www.lrfaq.org/FC/FAQ.FC.powertrailer.html Link describing it with photos and on the bottom the numbers of landys involved.

0 Dougy FV432 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi All, Talking of strange looking 101s. This one that I came across at a disposal site a few years ago. It looks like it was built for fun!! It's amazing what the Army got up to. Regards Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Poptopshed Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 That is a strange beast! looks like a 101 chassis and axles with a normal series bulkhead. Do you have any more pic's of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lardrover Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi All, Talking of strange looking 101s. This one that I came across at a disposal site a few years ago. It looks like it was built for fun!! That might have been the one built at MVS to shunt stuff about with, and have fun in Has a look of a Sugga about it, 101 with Series bulkhead and steering I think.
