The Landrovers in the pic had a tarp on the back frame, no weapon mount for the passenger (that I could see) and a more complicated ring mount."The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."

It looks like one of the old 110s, it was probably resurrected for the wing pending the arrival of the fordsLast edited by Joshua; 6 December 2003, 21:41."It is a general popular error to imagine that loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for it's welfare" Edmund Burke

Read it also and the call the panhards "light tanks".
Nice to see the new landrovers out there (same as the Brits have out in Iraq).Only the dead have seen the end of war - Plato

I don't think those are new landies, I reckon they've just refitted the "recce" landrovers they used for the infantry school up to the mid 90s.
The actual new purchase SRVs will be bigger and meaner fords.

From what i can see in the star,they are using the above pictured Vehicle,the Land Rover Special reconaissance Vehicle,but in Left hand drive,like most of the vehicles now going overseas(DROPS)
The Important thing,in my opinion,was the colour....Not White.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

HMMWV is great at transporting things/people from A to B over the worst terrain, but it's horrible to fight from with restricted movement. (Try debussing from a Hummer). The thing is already bloody cramped for me, it's only going to get worse with the computer terminals.
NTMDriver, tracks, troops.... Drive and adjust!!
