Marmite!! Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Why have an amphibious vehicle somewhere were camels are needed?(Bet the stores were full of Artic kit! :-D ) Quite a bit of water around Aden:coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) I read somewhere - I think on the "Britains Small Wars" web site - that one of the reasons they used Stalwarts in Aden was because the balls from the muskets used by the bad guys would bounce off a Stalwarts cab whereas on the RL's etc they went through the glas and metal like a hot knife though butter!! Edit: Found the page on the web site in question: http://www.britains-smallwars.com/AVA/Richard-Bullock/page1.htm Quite an interesting read!!!

ArtistsRifles Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 She runs and plays mate! :yay: :yay: :yay: Only things not working are the fuel/oil gauge and the main wiper motor. I'm tied up weekends now till the new year and, due to the feet issues the other half doesn't like ne being down there working on her alone. Other than that it's all odds and ends of jobs to do - mainly decorative!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
