Big ray Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Welcome in, we were getting the vehicles (Tanks) ready for Suez in Germany in 1956, worked around the clock. I always thought that the Champ was a very nice vehicle to drive (They were new then) unfortunately a pain to service out in the field......... and they could have 2.5 Land Rovers for the same money.

Giles Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Welcome to you. I do not blame you for retiring there - lovely area. I worked between Ripon and Masham for a fair time and loved it. Good folk and great fun. Ever worked on hydraulics of Eager Beavers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
