Withams in Lincs would have been my way around it if it was that particular vehicle he wanted as he deals with all types abroad and has a vast stock of ex MOD stuff most of the time anyway.
Can't help feeling sorry for him which ever this has turned out.......hasn't reached the Sunday papers so thats a bonus I suppose

Why, that's Peter's FV 432...we had lots of those in Suffield for training in the '70's. Most of the time they would be broken down as they had so many miles on them. Seems like a hundred years ago. Or at least 40...

You're thinking what I'm thinking BAR. If it's a petrol Mk1 type and it goes wrong, that's when it'll hurt! And there's nothing light about them. We are still using a variant of it today. I think it's called the bulldog! There's plenty being used as hard targets but they don't last long against Milan and even less against Javelin. The REME version had a HIAB crane on the back called a 434 or 43-twice. Looked good but the HIAB cranes weren't really man enough foir the job
Note the hush-puppy track pads. I was thinking about these for Alpaca Andy's old half track tracks. THe hush puppy pads were held on with a bonded bolt secured with a nyloc bolt at the rear/inside the track, They used to come adrift occasionally and my friend ran over one. The bolt went straight through his tyre blew it right out and buckled the wheel rim and the wheel arch. Luckily the pad was still clonking around in the shredded tyre when he abruptly stopped so was able to claim off the Army insurers
