Hi Richard,
Is that Landy in your pic SWB and FFR? Never seen an army shorty with the seat in the back.

SWB yes, FFR, perhaps (looks like 25 or 77 set handles in the shadows). Oficially a FFR it is not, but it may have had one in place for use.

here is another view of that vehicle. looks like it has a platform in place to hold a radio temporarily. probably to aid in recovering broken down vehciles as this was a workshops vehicle


As for the seats in the back, all 2a GS SWB land rovers had them fitted from the factory, and I think the Command Recon Series 2's did as well.

here is an restored example

Thanks for the photos and info Richard, always come over nostalgic when I see Landies in mud.
