    thats ok, just remember that when I deploy that while my brethren are either navigating or sleeping under the stars Im busy choosing my hotel by them.

    The army officers kick the diggers out of sleeping bags and tell them to walk over to the enemy and give them a hard time. The navy officers march around a bit walk onto the boat with their sailors and sail off over the horizon. I open the door remark "give em hell sir" as the officers climb into the planes to taxi for the runway and then after closing the door I have to make the hard decision of if I want to buy chips or a mars bar, watch an action movie or a cartoon and do I buy a coke, lemonade, ginger beer, Ice coffer or is the aircon down low enough to justify making a hot coffee?

    Ok then, so you reckon that Ford don't produce a full range of vehicles in the weight classes and drive types to tender for the various contracts?
    wagoo.

    Aah! they do, but if Landrover tendered for the contract it would be in direct opposition to Ford US military vehicle manufacturing division, and also Volvo another Ford US owned coy.

    I saw a pair of 6 wheelers (Perenties?), one with a trailer, going through Mayfield near the Ex Services club heading towards the river. They had Driver Under Instruction banners on the back.

    things are a bit rough all round these days..The british Army so limited by the fact that they are not replenishing their landy's and keeping the ones they have on the road by remanufacturing parts at Hudsons (and in effect are running 10 years beyond the 20 year contracted life) are left with driving leased fridges and washing machines er I mean white fleet vehicles which have nearly all been sourced from the jap civvy market.
    So any unit not active ie: driving school have to do their training with these jap things that are not even perm 4x4 and are regularly smashed to bits because they cannot perfom as well as a tul or tum wolf which is mainly the service vehicle of choice, so no GS vehicles just white lease stuff sad

    So LandRovers parent Ford didn't see sufficient value in Defender as a military vehicle to incorporate it into its military vehicle division ?
    Wagoo.

    Land Rover was part of Ford's Premier Auto Group alongside sports and luxury vehicles. It seems that Ford considered the Defender a blight to the brand's identity, despite it being the brand to many. A green ovel on both a Range Rover and an army truck, unlikely whilst Ford PAG was in control.

    I have had a lot of time for you Dave.....until now!
    ****ing RAAFIES ...you forgot to mention sporties, early knock off on Fridays, and a uniform bought from the local bus company!

    As an Armoured Corps officer, I can tell you, I didnt "send" soldiers anywhere....they were LED!

    I will join you in my disdain of pilots though!

    Cheers.

    Oh yeah,

    Right on Barefoot Dave.....Bloody poges ; )))
