So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).
I am a number. I am not a free man.

I saw the first photo and with enough drink on board and in the right light JJH's vehicle (???!!!, or a plumber's nightmare) looks just like an armoured bagpipe, obviously just need to cover it in suitable material and find someone with log enough arms for the chanter, and Bob's your mum's brother or something........

Not sure if we still use the 106RCL here. 5/7 RAR used to have them. Mounted on old series 3 land rovers. There was talk of mounting them on the M113s but I don't know if that eventuated.
High on life. And glue.

Why not the yanks had the 106's fitted to M113's in Vietnam.
In the landrover pic is that WW2 vintage pixie suits they are wearing?
