61KF58 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hello, my name is David. Thank you for adding me to HMVF. I have a 1987 Land Rover Defender 90, formerly 61 KF 58. 217,000km on the clock, still going strong - needs some fresh paint, new seats and probably some fresh gearbox/transfer box fluids...

61KF58 Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Clive, Sorry for the very late reply! She was indeed RAF, I have the Merlin report which say she was with RAF Force Protection Force HQ (so assuming RAF Honington) but that's all I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

61KF58 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Clive, small world! mine is a 90, hardtop with windows, the plate on the seat box mentions "aircraft armament support" but I wasn't quite sure what that would mean on an RAF base as a 90 seems a little short to carry missiles/droptanks etc so I guess the weaponry was trailered behind?

fv1609 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 There are pictures around of airfield Rovers that did tow trailers with missiles to fit. Or perhaps this was just to carry the chaps to fit the missiles given that there are windows for passenger benefit I assume. The window on the near side of course was particularly useful at otherwise blind junctions. The greatest annoyance (apart from "nice Jeep" & "nice Sankey (from those who assume all trailers were made by Sankey) was "pity you fitted the side windows & destroyed the originality" - That was where the contract plate got a good airing :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
