Neil, just read this, doesn't sound to promissing but at least the water will put the fire out :-D :-D

 

The Alvis Stalwart

Made in 1970 this was an amphibious 5 ton capacity high mobility cargo truck designed to carry fuel and ammunition in support of the Chieftain tanks. Unfortunately they had a tendency to sink and catch fire and their amphibious capability was disabled part way through their life as it was considered too dangerous to operate. Their mechanical complexity was also a problem with frequent transmission breakages when used for longer distances on the road. It did though have very good off-road ability.
