Apparently the small tractor unit that I am expecting any forward operating base to have as a minimum is called a "Donkey" in groundcrew circles, and consisted of what appears to be a lump of concrete with a small petrol engine and three wheels steered by a broom stick type controller attached to the single castored forward wheel. It also appears to have been a cow to start and sqns were known to use a little avpin to encourage it!!!!! Gutsy move if true
Also known as a 'Yellow Peril'. - When ground equipment was painted yellow.
