Hi Tony, During my RAEME service (1972 - 1992) the GS trucks were always referred to as the F1 and any truck with the PTO driven hydraulic pump was an F2. If I remember correctly the Holmes equipped wreckers were called the Truck, Wrecker, Twin Boom,6 x 6, 5 ton w/winch, F2. Later on in their service they were given the Defence Forces' Mobility Class of MC5, I think.
Feel free to corrct me if my memory is failing.

You may be correct, Rod, regarding the Vehicle's being referred to as F2's in RAEME as mechanically speaking, they were!
I have never heard of any of the Mk5 6x6s called Mk5s, always F1, F2, F3,....etc.
