Bolton Whirlwind

Neil, although the stally in the picture is not very clear I’m fairley certain that its STAL 38. I purchased the truck via e-bay in August 2005 from a chap in Westhoughton, Bolton. At the time he also had listed the helicopter, a Sopwith camel bi-plane, some vintage motorbikes, a jet engined single seat training air plane,

I wonder if this is the 1 1/2 Strutter that moved near Southampton?:confused:

Found a photo of it on the demobbed aircraft site and spotted a Stalwart 6×6 amphibious truck behind, so asked on a military vehicle forum. Got this response, hope it’s of use

Rob,

Asked the question for you over on the Stalwart owners group and one of the guys there replied thus:

At the time he also had listed the helicopter, a Sopwith camel bi-plane, some vintage motorbikes, a jet engined single seat training air plane, two Winebago camper vans plus a few other wierd and wonderfull contraptions. His name is Doug Hacking and lives on a farm to the north of junction 5 of the M61 Motorway. When I went to see him the copter had already gone but he still had everthing else. Doug is a very well known dealer of motorcyles in the Bolton area. He sells stuff on e-bay and goes by the name of mrlaughalot, or something like that. He seemed like a nice chap although I could never get a straight answer to my questions about the Stalwart. . I don’t have Dougs number but
if your mate wants to contact him I suppose a search on google for “Doug Hacking motorcycles, Lancashire” should do the trick.

I tried the google search and gave this result:
