You've got me pondering all sorts now...

The flail tips have almost no momentum so won't trigger anything sadly. I'll see about a vid...

Ok, now that is fucking cool!

As a bonus it probably would make a great lint remover.

Oh and don’t think we haven’t noticed the Landie. You really should think about adding a AACO if you doing Aussie vehicles.

What Landy?

This ACCO?

Funny story. I was in the back of one of those when it had a mishap coming back from the range. The driver had omitted his first parade responsibilities and the brakes failed upon coming, fairly gently, to a halt at a set of traffic lights.

The truck rolled into a car in front of us containing a number of rather pumped up young males in their early twenties, which, in turn, rolled into the car in front of it containing a pregnant woman. Nice little three vehicle pile up. The GT striped hoon car in front had it’s boot nicely restructured but there were no injuries to anyone involved.

The young toughs in the car in front all piled out examined the damage to their pride and joy and started ranting at the driver, who was white as a sheet and the youngish officer in the cab. Then they started getting a bit menacing.

At this point one of our Warrant Officers appeared and firmly advised that they get back in their vehicle. Big bloke, slightly scary bloke but for a moment they seemed inclined to disregard the faint menace in his tone and go the biff on the driver and the subby. Then one of them spotted that there were about a dozen, fully tooled up blokes in greens and webbing getting out of the back of the AACO behind them. That was the clincher. Sheepish looks exchanged between them, anger rapidly evaporated and back into the car in the twinkling of an eye. Pissed myself laughing, never seen a climb down so quick and undignified.

Yup that AACO.

Reminds me of a detachment to Aalborg in Denmark.

We had 'retired to the pub' after a hard week of keeping 6 jets flying in the snow without a hangar....no fun. (This is the RAF we don't do cold and wet - but the accommodation was top notch obviously)

A scrawny 'wiking' local was walking past nudging people to make them spill their drinks safe in the knowledge that his absolutely massive 'wiking' mate thought it was funny too...obviously a practiced double act... until he nudged one of ours...

The chap he nudged had a short fuse anyway and he was also now well 'lubricated' with Hoegaarten and he squared up to Mr scrawny... Mr big stepped in and squared up too...obviously their plan... but then, in one motion, almost the whole bar stood up... he hadn't banked on 30 of us

At which point an absolute unit of a local wiking picked up a wiking in each hand and without a word heaved them into the street. He was a mate of the bar's owner and he knew who was paying his rent that week

We may be easily distracted, but there was definitely a Land Rover.

Short wheel base Series II or IIA if I’m not mistaken. Hoping there will be a long wheel base version as well.

The sports car. That should keep Helen happy. They dismounted the RCL in Vietnam and mounted M60s on it for base defence.

Interesting the wings are different to the civilian version.
