If Carman drives south on Kenaston, turns right on Taylor and looks to her right, she might very well see a Bv206 among other wheeled and tracked green things in the PPCLI vehicle park. I do believe I have seen the odd one there once upon a time - of course, ours might be in Afghanistan at the moment.

That's an excellent and concise overview of the Bv's. Interestingly these fall into an untested anomaly of UK law, tracked vehicles need a separate category of driving licence here (H) and another driving test. However, the law is quite clear that this applies to vehicles "steered by their tracks", the Bv206 is steered by articulation. . . . . . . . . . . .

Mmmmmm, Land Rover 101 FC, every Roverhead's ultimate dream machine - and now I have a 101FC - but it's a HUP!

Ah, LR 101's. Chocolate camshafts and iffy oil pumps! All fixable and should you ever need parts my very good friend nearby is the 101 club spares officer and has four of them including a Luxembourg ambulance and radio truck, not altogether common as just two of each were made.
The army has just one left on-charge in active service and located a few miles from here on Whale Island which is a few acres of space attached to Portsmouth and the Naval Gunnery School.

You'll never find this 101 as it resides at the bottom of the old Whitehead torpedo test and calibration tank being used for diver training.
