paulbrook Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 A knock behind the wheel eh? I wonder............. Once upon a time Jim'll Fix It did a thing with Stalwarts from 21 Sqn RCT with a kid - which included swimming them in the Rhine (21 were in Glamorgan Bks Duisburg) During the filming the stollys did some very - er - energetic cross country then piled straight into the river, whereupon one of them began to ship water and sink due to a wheel station banging up and damaging the hull. Luckily you didnt see the recovery on the telly, as Jims team had leged it by then But you never know - this might be one of my old mate Marty's boats!

FEC Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) A knock behind the wheel eh? I wonder............. Once upon a time Jim'll Fix It did a thing with Stalwarts from 21 Sqn RCT with a kid - which included swimming them in the Rhine (21 were in Glamorgan Bks Duisburg) During the filming the stollys did some very - er - energetic cross country then piled straight into the river, whereupon one of them began to ship water and sink due to a wheel station banging up and damaging the hull. Luckily you didnt see the recovery on the telly, as Jims team had leged it by then But you never know - this might be one of my old mate Marty's boats! FEC saw a number of hulls that had bent panels below the propulsion units. seemed to be a weak area. Lot's of heat and persuasion. I remember the Jim'l fix it piece and would love to get a copy of that mk2 stolly bouncing across the rough ground and plunging into the river. always regret not attempting it when performance testing at Carr Mill Dam, no bottle.

Paddy1 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 If you go to the Pathe News site and put Alvis Stalwart in the search box, there's a couple of films of the early prototype under test. http://www.britishpathe.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
