Hi Guys,
I like the megaphone next to the wireless operators seat, in case the WS fails?
Cheers,
Dave

Default No, no, no....

The megaphome was used to call back the poor chaps who sat at the rear behind the rear axle..... once they bounce out of the box you had to yell at them to find you in the following dust cloud.....

...on the other hand...rather nice vehicle to take you mother in law for a ride..... Sit back here mother dear..... enjoy the fresh air!!!!

Haven't seen these pics, thanks Bob. What chassis was used? Was it the van one or truck?
