That stupid fat, toothless cow up at the stables. Apparently she can read my mind, and has managed to bruise my Clydesdale’s sides with her spurs…. 😡
………sort of woman that Pagen01 lusts after! (does she own the spurs?);)

Every night, the dead and injured were bought up to RAF Stanley in RAF 3/4 ton and 1 ton Landrovers and loaded onto the airbridge back to UK. This was late 82.

Slightly different, 1998 I moved across to Plymouth Airport (shortly to be consigned to history), the airfield support vehicle was already retired.
Another series III, 5 door station wagon. She had served PCA a number of years and had failed long before I arrived. I immediately bought her off the airport and then discovered she had been ‘nobbled’. within 10 minutes of opening the bonnet I had her running and 2 days later put her through the MOT (which passed) and the following drove her to work!

Another Falklands vet is this series III LWB. On the airfield at Stanley she was my favourite and definately the hardest working of the three ATC vehicles and she had an ‘artic’ heater:) This was the first RAF landy to reach Bluff Cove (1 of 2) and on another occasion whilst returning from Two Sisters she suffered a rear puncture. Unable to change the wheel due to one sticky nut, we limped the 4 miles into Stanley stopping every now and then to cool the tyre. The Army MT guys soon got the wheel off but none of us could explain the 7.62 bullet head inside the tyre:confused: The eventual theory was we ran over a bullet that left the head behind.
These 2 photos show F/O Ian Sheeley in the rear not wanting to get out (it was freezing!) and F/S Al Biggs trying to find the tyres nemisis.
