Weird And Wonderfull Old Army Land Rover Pictures.

I have had the pictures, and some more for a while now, they were all boxed up until recently, some are from my grandads photo collection, others i have collected over the years, the 6x6 pics were from a number of photos i got from a friend in the Uk, they were emailed to me.

That series 5 shoreland looks awesome, but i've never seen the hard top centaur before!!!

Yes, that ambo is an aussie one, and I think that 101 is a vampire, not a radio truck.

Thanks for that. Any chance of higher resolution scans of the aussie ones for REMLR ??

Yew I was going to suggest that too.

The Vampire 101 was an Electronic Warfare - Radio Intercept vehicle, very few were made and at least one lost to fire.

But the Vampire is not just a signals vehicle, it was designed to intercept the enemy's radio traffic and either jam it or use other EW counter-measures.

i seem to recall that the vickers conversion in #6 was designed for use on golf courses.....
