John McArthur is an invaluable man around camp. He is a REME vehicle mechanic who is attached to the troop of Royal Engineers based there.
If it has got wheels or tracks, the VM will have a look at it -- there is not much he cannot sort out.
But with no mechanic's pit, no ramp to put vehicles on and no shade for John or all that hot metal, the conditions are challenging.
The Vehicle Mechanic's skills can be called for outside of base, at times.
Time is of the essence to get wheels rolling again without becoming a target.
For that reason, the VM gets a bit of special treatment from grateful guys at Patrol Base Wahid.
