This just found it's way onto YouTube - might be someone on here?

Wow, goes to 4K HD! So many pics in the collection. Great bit of work. A few I hadn't seen.

Scott got another ex-military 1964 SWB yesterday, so its a nice coincidence.

Its a virus. Here's ours, the one he grew up with: Castrol the Ex-Army 1964 Landy (https://www.remlr.com/Archive/swb/index.html)

Get it while it lasts because i think the music copyright rule will hit it around.

cheers

Here's a couple of unusual shots I took of a loaded Landy + trailer slung from a Chinook 'chopper on our way from Nui Dat to a fire support base in 1967.

This is how we mobilised before they realised that it was safer to sling them, and hence easier to jettison their load if necessary!

And some of the action that followed .......

I missed all that, but there was still National Service, so I opted for CMF. Gough stopped all that after a couple of years. Quite a few regulars stayed on in the CMF though.

Here is a collection of our early 70's driving. ( I might have posted a link when i did it, can't remember)
