OIC,

Not necessarily! But I recall that being part of the original requirement. I know the steep angle of dangle of the ramp was a problem, I saw them trying to winch one in once. I don't think driving one in was possible.

Some of the glossy blurb showed Argocats being used instead!

Underslung is better anyway, it's quicker to load and allows for an instant large reduction in gross weight..
