I certainly remember the "strengthened floor reduced the headroom so it couldn't get the vehicle in" line in the Gulf in the early 70s which The Oberon and zetec2 mention at posts #30 and #38, but I'm sure it was a Ferret Scout Car when I heard it. Hope it's true

Also amongst the banter (and I wasn't flying Argosies) was about the LM who was Court martialled for leaving his payload on top of his locker ......

.... but it did do a very good 'bus service around Bahrain, Sharjah, Masirah and Salalah .. (BFPOs 63, 64, 65 and 66 respectively IIRC - amazing what the mind retains)
