The petrol in the extra Gerry can would also be mixed with sand and used to make tea if the hex blocks ran out.

@joekurtz8303 3 года назад

Had only read about it 30yrs ago in SOF magazine, the heat wavelengths rising from the desert floor would obscure the color at a distance. In fact the US 3 color desert camo pattern has a very light pink shade in it. Time proven technology.

Hi, being part of a BAT unit in Oman 1976/7, I used your rover in and around Mirbat. It had 2 GPMG,s and SLR,s so we only needed 7.62 rounds! (No 50 cal). you need some 58 pattern webbing, and pink tyres, we slug our Bergen's over the side. and as a child I live by the rover factory in Solihull.

@samrodian919 Год назад

Not sure I believe you. I've Never, ever heard an Englishman call aLand Rover a Rover, that's an American thing, especially if you say you were brought up in Solihull. And your English isn't anywhere near good enough for a native of Great Britain.

@alwynvanwyk1851 Год назад

Fast in and out....not likely Lmao 😂😂😜 Nothing fast about those Pinkies with the full load of kit, ammo, fuel, water and crew in thick sand or uneven terrain.. Those 900x16 tyres helped with the clearance, but was very heavy, adding to the drag... Those poor 2,25lt engines worked like steam engines..but... in my opinion, still the best Landy engine ever made. My ex - Rhodesian military SWB 1960 Sii 2,25 must have done close to, or over a million km's and is still used as a daily and for long holiday or working trips into the mountains or arid semi deserts, fully laden, with a song in it's soul.... It's a love affair between man and machine... Sorry, I got a bit carried away there 🤭🤭🤭 🇿🇦 🦇 🇿🇦

Interestingly I had to visit Hereford as an army logistician in 1984, to prep some items for air portability……we were escorted into a hanger to carry out our task and there was two Land Rover ‘pinkies’ in the corner of the hangar. I can’t recall the age or status of them though.

@wor53lg50 Год назад

Your mainly right for the colour being that way, but not in the day, its painted that colour because it blends in at late evening dusk and night time when the SAS would operate, in the day that would be hidden under netting as it would stick out like a sore rash around the never regions, also sometimes light pastal blue would be camo'd up with the pink in rockie regions..... And wait for those arabian sunsets...'STABILIS', lest we never forget...

Varys why it was Pink! We do have a British DESERT Pink paint in the modelling community I'm away to built this model next but have been reading old documents whare the paint wasn't ment to be Pink but what it was mixed with at the time came out Pink! It was a Light stone same as the LRDG apparently but like I said it's only what the roumers are till you dig abit into it the call it UK Rosa Desirto you'll see some old original photos of them with like the light stone more the top with a pink gradient when she fades

Typical Land Rover. They never went back to a clean sheet of paper. The thing just evolved by bolting bits on or swapping stuff around.

@spotsterjon74cu Год назад

There is one of these Land Rovers exhibited at the Royal Signals museum at Blandford Camp if anyone in the UK is interested.

@seumasnatuaighe Год назад

Desert pink came about originally in ww2 when the paint on aircraft and vehicles was changed over time by the strong uv light of the desert sun. The LRDG and later SAS found that mixing primers to give this pink shade really made their vehicles hard to see especially in morning and afternoon shadows. This was carried on after ww2 by the Brits in various campaigns in Arabia.

@manakara9821 Год назад

What a useless toy. Way too heavy under powered eye candy. The Dhofar rebellion was by far mostly carried out in the Hadhramaut hills around Salalah which are mostly extremely rough steep sided wadis with few tracks and no roads so these vehicles were useless. Out to the North of Thumrait in the gravel plains of the Empty Quarter OK they could be used but that's not where the action was. Stripped down lightweight Land Rovers and pickups were far better.

land rover did have a diesel not sure when it came out , but it would not have been powerful enough for what they were doing. Almost same size as petrol and no turbo back then. I think they used same block as petrol motor just gutless.

@davidyendoll5903 Год назад

High speed is meant to be taken as relatively high speed I think . These machines were not used on normal tarmaced roads because there were not many in the deserts and hilly country of the Middle East . Land Rovers were and are some of the very best all terrain vehicles available . Not only can they get to places a normal road vehicle cannot go at all , but they cover ground quite quickly .... relatively quickly . Land Rovers can be understood to be more like an agricultural tractor with less weight , options for 2 or 4 wheel drive with low and high gearing . The axles pivot on the body centerline and the suspension can move up and down much further than a typical car . They are also made to be fairly easy to fix and maintain besides being quite rugged . Not a sports car quick though !

@WWIIUK 9 лет назад

considering he has a 1968 model land Rover Series IIA SAS Patrol Vehicle he has not done any research on british army equipment. the 37 pattern webbing was being phased out in 1958 you do not see soldiers wearing 37 pattern webbing out side of 1955. if you do it is for parades or training! do hanging a half completed set of 37 pattern webbing on the side of a 1968 model vehicle is a bit inaccurate!

@paullehrle7316 8 лет назад

I joined the Army in 65 and was still using "37" pattern webbing in BAOR in 66-68

@WWIIUK 8 лет назад

paul lehrle most of the special forces had the 58 pattern webbing by then i do believe from talking to a late 1950s to early 1960s SAS veteran. however he did mention that regular units still used a large quantity of 37 pattern webbing.

@PieAndChips 7 лет назад

For SAS should be '44 pattern, but there was still '37 in circulation.

@mikeinskeg 6 лет назад

in 1975 I used 58 pattern belt pack and a Bergen, lot off the guys used what they liked

@BILLHOVER 4 года назад

They have no real dress code, or weapons list, it a case of what is best for the job at hand and as long as the ammo needed and the caliber is an off the shelf for easy re-supply like 9mm, 55.6, 7.62 or .338Lap or even AK47 if needed to blend in on the job, the boss desides what goes. The world wide coverage of the SAS raid on the Iranian Embassy was the first time most people had heard the name HK MP5, which was not even a British service weapon at the time, but boy did that PR for HK do that company some good, may be the SAS got free MP5's from then on. The PDW used by a lot of the lads was a revolver, get a miss fire or jam just pull the trigger again no clearance drills needed.

Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
