The Vosper and Fairmile MGB and MTB were absolutely spectacular. It saddens me beyond belief that nearly all of them were scrapped.

A reasonable German equivalent of the time, perhaps somewhat larger, would have been their " Ë Boat", a quite formidable bit of gear.

Oh, yes indeed. E Boat was an Allied designation though, or so I believe. Schnellebooten were indeed formidable. Not as fast as the British boats, but better armed. I can't recall if they had the 'silent' engines of the Brits for low speed stuff. Even subs were frightened of E Boats if caught on the surface. I never wanted one, though.

New Land Rover Defender coming in 2020
More on the next Defender from 4 x 4 Australia.

I read this which quoted LR as stating the Defender wouldn't be available until 2020 [bigsad]

New Land Rover Defender coming in 2020

Not much of an update when its all still just speculation.

I dont even think its speculation.

LR have not released a thing about a new Defender .

Exactly right,..but there's plenty that listen to all the 3rd 4th 5th hand gossip around, my mate knows a bloke etc etc etc, & then it becomes gospel,...not to me!!....motoring journos are just as bad,.....if it wasn't an official LandRover statement, then I take no notice.
