I had an RAF Lightweight in 2013 and had to sell it due a bad back.

I have just bought another one (19/10/82) that was in the Falklands with JFLU Supply Sqn. This one is a hybrid and I plan to restore it back to its glory days.

Hi Dave @simpleearth

The Landrovers in the Falklands led a hard life, with the rough roads and the dust.  (-:

If  RAF  Falklands , then they probably stayed on base & odd trip to the main drag.    I have  90"   57KG59   according to Merlin  - it went straight to   Typhoon Falklands  in 1988  (paperwork of course back in the day was Tornado Falklands) , stayed 10 years until 1999 and then return (probably in a Herc.)  for disposal at British Car Auctions.  Mint condition & body , chassis , bulkhead -pristine , still mint - presently has a 2.1/4  5mb petrol fitted , but I have a better time line Defender  2.5 pet. to fit sometime,  this engine was Ex-Scottish Fisheries pulled from a Defender to fit a diesel  !
