salvage squad the stolly

[@philipketchell8369]

In 1974 we had a visit by the Army and they took us on laps around our school field in a Stolly....it was great.

An original fun vehicle. I too had a matchbox toy of one and I think that was what started me off. Great effort people, medals all round.

[@mrspudly1]

Many thanks for taking the time and effort to fully assemble this, great viewing.

That paint shop was a bit posh. Many moons ago I was given a 4in brush and a tin of NATO green. Everything got painted. Handles, mud, dead flies, rubber bits. If it was on the truck it got painted. Looked awful close up. Stand back and it was not too bad. The inspecting officer knew to stand well back.

If it moves salute it, if it doesn`t then paint it.

How cool was Major Ben? How easy is it now 15 years on to get swim gear now? Continuity errors I saw : Variously it was described as a 67, a 68, and a 69 model. Maybe that's why the control rods were too short? Also after they'd trailered it away there was an establishing shot of it still back ar Russ' farm!

Most training areas that were used at home and abroad were light soil and sandy areas. FV 432’s could fill the underfloor frames with it. Like the WOII’s boots! The seals will only work if the panels are not bent but they often are from use. The steel when used in Norfolk boat yards is called bin iron. No our chaps would not have defeated the Russians. Our job was to fight and die for a week while politicians made a peace! Be clear about this, that was our job! The job of the Stolly was to transport ammunition for the guns. These vehicles were maintained by REME usually out side in inclement weather: that was in barracks! The conditions here are luxury! Rods don’t reach not a problem all brake systems were rod operated at one time so no problems In technology. Because the temperature was so high around the engine a Graviner fire wire system was fitted so you did not blow up the ammunition above it. I am surprised you claim the engine from 1944 as Stolly’s were not made then. The Rolls engine was one of a series where the internals were supposed to be the same but multiplied: so one piston etc. It did not entirely work but that was the origins of the B series. At least all the wheel stations seem to work.

hi

Sadly very poor footagequality. This couldn't be 720p that not more than 380p . It is a very unique and interesting amphibious truck and worth a better footagequality.

[@TheHotredfox]

when this was on tv i only had a video recorder to tape the program and had the tapes a long time when I taped them I had no idea I world put them on KZbin and the tapes had been used a few times yes i world have liked to been better picture but its better to have something then nothing

[@mrspudly1]

Should be grateful that the poster has taken the time to edit all the bits together and assemble the full length program, like he says this original footage is over 20 years old.
