Stalwart HMLC Gallery

[chambers101]

They had that Stolly on display at Disneyland for a while.

I have just been told by en ex army man that he worked on Stalwarts in Aden, (hoping to get pictures) and they were painted all sand...nothing but sand..,.

So with all this nice cold weather about, has anyone got any nice "stalwart in the snow" pictures?

whilst digging round for some photo's, i came accross these.

 

this one (if memory serves me correct) is the fibua training village at stanta

its on the confidence course, where you had to climb a cargo net, run accross the roof's, go through tunnels etc, and right at the end you had to sit on the window ledge and drop down onto this sand filled stolly.

 

i first looked out the window, (out of shot in the picture) then just jumped through it onto the stolly, the instructor looked at me, i said "its a confidence course, im confident"

he just shook his head and docked our team points

i suppose its not the correct way to do it. :blush:

I was doing the climbing frame in Sandhurst. You had to climb to the top stand up and say your name rank and number...I got up and bent down, the instructor asked me what I was doing, he nearly faitned when I did a hand stand and shouted out my details whilst standing on my hands...he didnt think it was at all funny, but I did say it was a confidence test surely...I think we both missed the point...and I was a bit of a gymnast in those days...

 

I am a tad claustrophobic and doing those SEWERS/tunnels was not fun at all...I tried to do the tunnels in Vietnam but could only go into the entrance, its the first time it has ever stopped me from doing something like that but I reasoned i was twice the zize of the vietcong and therefore likely to get stuck, my worst nightmare i GUESS...

You'll find a shot of some Stalwarts in Aden here: http://flat222.org/gallery2/v/brian/army/Aden-Sharjah/Aden/Stalwarts_+Often+used+to+protect+air+craft+at+Habilyn+against+small+arms+fire+at+night_.bmp.html

 

The colour reproduction is not good, but I assume that they are in sand and black.

 

Or you could always do a mock-up of the Stalwart used as a reef rescue vehicle at RAF Gan:

Good pic

[Amphibi boy]

Filler! Na, get some gaffa tape on it!

 

Hey paul, would you try it in your stolly?

I would give it a go, but not in mine. :nut:

[paulob1]

yep would have no qualms about doing it...mind you i have never been in the water with her even though she is fully kitted out

[Amphibi boy]

You need to take her swimming, especially if she is all sorted.

Im going all through mine at moment, making sure she's alll ready for a swim. I need to free off a dowty and im also fitting electric ignition then a complete service. Once all thats sorted, im on the hunt for a lake or perhaps the local river!

[paulob1]

she will go in the water this year...I have decided this is the year, its just when and with whom I go..likely will take the jetski and the outboard ready and fitted to the rear, not that i dont trust them or anything just i have had fitrst hand experience of stalwarts breaking...

Posted in another thread but belongs here too.

Photoshop...just dont see the point of these pictures at all.

[paulob1]

but I will send in photos of my truck doing a stoppy, this a stalwart can do...10 mph slam the brakes on and up she will come...scary in the front...

[Marmite!!]

Photoshop...just dont see the point of these pictures at all.

Nope, original in service photo.. trust me... I suspect there's a dug out or dip there for the vehicles to go through..
