I maybe stupid, but......Did the british army use S2 109s?

[m0rris]

Hello All,

 

I'm writing to ask whether the British Army used any landy series 2 109s (hard or soft tops) I ask as I have been a long term lurker on here (without MV unfortunately :cry: To Be Changed over the next few years) and of all the forums I have come across, this one has the greatest breadth and depth of MV history! I am constructing a northern ireland diorama in 1/35th can only find limited picture banks of british landies at the beginning of Op Banner, and they all seem to be S2 SWBs. Any help/pictures/links etc etc will be greatly appreciated!

Wow, thanks for the quick reply, I don't suppose it wouldn't be too cheeky to ask whtether you know if the 109 went to northern ireland at any stage in its life...? (a long shot I know...!), but thanks again for the prompt reply and useful facts sheet!

The Northern Ireland thing kicked off, this time, in 1969. That was about the time the new lighting regulations changed the headlights to the wings. I suppose some of the earlier 2a must have been out there at least to begin with.

Clive (FV1609) will probably be able to give you chapter and verse on this when he gets back from War &Fleece.
