Dress trivia
Here's a bit of Canadian trivia in the same vein:
The only order pertaining to dress issued by Monty in N. Africa came after a Canadian soldier, completely naked except for a very natty top hat, was driving a truck past the Field Marshall. The driver promptly gave an "eyes right" and then doffed his top hat in salute. Nonplussed, Monty promptly issued the order, "There shall be no more wearing of top hats in the 8th Army!"

I am pretty sure that is Chertsey......and it looks like a Ferret scout car imitating a submarine.

Chertsey
Must be... I have an even better shot but will reserve that for another time. I reckon Les's shot may MEE or MVEE in Farnborough, as surely there were no such facilities at Chilwell?

Question: What happens when one tries to drive 40 tons of truck and dozer across a class 12 Bailey bridge?
Well someone didn’t know the answer had to find out the hard way.
