MLVW info sought
Looking for references, actual documents (i.e., MOST reports, etc..) and hi-resolution photos for the MLVW family of vehicles.
Clive

Hello Clive
I will put them aside for you. I remember we had a conversion course for those of us already trained on the 2.5 tons. we all dreaded having to change a tire. Eric

I think I have (or had) some of that course training package downstairs. I instructed on the conversion courses back around 83. Actually, you did not instruct, you merely assisted, since it was a self taught course for the most part.
I know what you meant about the spare tire removal. I watched as a Brute of a PPCLI tried to remove the tire from the holder....he was literally shaking the whole truck. Yet I, as a 160 pound craftsmen, could remove and replace the spare on the holder without issue. It was a brains over brawn thing. I picked up an MLVW a few weeks ago, and have been working on it since. It had been in a rollover accident and then cannibalized, so the fun has been trying to find all those little bits and pieces, and get them to fit where they belong. It is slowly progressing.

Roll Over
Rob and Clive,
I was in a MLVW roll over in 1985 while doing my TQ3 Infantry with the Militia in Petawawa while I was with the 2 IR RC. 18 troops in the back and 3 in the front. 2 bows kept the whole thing from laying flat on its roof. Luckily someone decided to leave the FNC1's at the bivowac as we were going to the rocket range. I wish I had a photo to show how the roof folded like a beer can. I do have a few pictures from my TQ3 Crewman that might show some CFR's Dave
