The Military Vehicle Thread

I worked overtime escorting the Green Goddeses during the same strike. Fast they ain't!

To my surprise, & pleasure, I saw John on Friday, I thought he'd retired
He still has his GAZ!

He’s one of our ‘Max-Fax’ Consultants

Whilst cutting through Castleford

My first thought was Volvo C303 ‘LapLander’, as I saw it from the road passing that side-street, but possibly ’Eastern Bloc’?

According to Goggle it's a Slovenian TAM 150.

Thanks for that!
It had double-doors on the rear, maybe someone's intending a camper/workshop conversion?

I drove Goddessess from HMS Nelson during a fire brigade strike.

They drove like a dream.

Is a sentence, you will ever hear by anyone who drove them full of water.

We (a surveying company in Notts in the mid 1970s) had a Bedford RL (same as the GGs ?) with a command cabin on the chassis. I seem to remember 4 mpg on the road, 2 mpg off road. I never got to drive it but the gearshift system did look intimidating (it may not have been, I was only 17 at the time so lacking world and driving experience)
