    It must be difficult when they have to drive it up to the bridge.
    Your eyes are much better than mine. There would be an interesting story behind that.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    There were a whole bunch of 80"Landies purchased by the RAN in the early 1950s. HMAS Quadrant had one as did HMAS Tobruk when it was deployed to the Korean War.

    This is Quadrant.



    Note the Land Rover on the afterdeck immediately behind the superstructure.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Get it right. Extra training in the first dog, that man.
