  I am absolutely appalled that the tea making facilities were not repaired and checked and i shall be writing a strongly worded letter to my MP.

  When I was a kid, I almost wrote to &apos;Jim&apos;ll Fix It&apos; because I wanted to drive a Stolly.<br><br>Thank f*ck I didn&apos;t.

  Unusual to see you getting in something clean and not falling apart.

  I love these vehicles. A friend of mine was an Army lawyer in BAOR in N Germany in the Cold War. He defended two jocks who became &nbsp;homesick, drank themselves paralitic in the NAAFI Bar, stole keys to an Stalwart, filled it with MOD fuel, drove to the Channel coast and into the North Sea in an attempt to get home. They ran out of fuel and were washed up on the Dutch coast......

  A Stalwart with a camper van attached to its bed would be the ultimate amphibious vacation home, but only if fuel price wasn&apos;t a concern!

  I loved driving the Stolly, especially the mobility over bad ground. Very glad I didn&apos;t have to service or work on it though. Memories of dozens of Stollies lined up, loaded with arty ammo pallets. Its a pity the modern cash-strapped Army can&apos;t have a modern version.

  Back in 80&apos;s I served in a Transport Regiment. I drove Stollies for several years. I really loved them.<br>They basically went anywhere a tank could go, even when fully loaded. I admit that the centre steering took a little bit of getting used to though. It had the same amount of reverse gears as it did forward gears, you had to engage a forward/reverse gear changer.<br>They came equiped with a BV, ( boiling vessel ), so you cook your meals/drinks on the go, so that saved time once you reached your location.<br>A great vehicle 👍👍 and I&apos;d love to own one.
