Hello everyone,

I am an enthusiast for Steyr-Puch Haflingers. These small off-road vehicles were built in Austria from 1959 to 1974 and they were also used as tugs for Wessex helicopters on the decks of HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark (and maybe on other ships as well). These "Navy-Haflingers" had a special towing device with drawbar couplings both on the front and on the rear of the vehicle. I do have some information online on my website at:

Steyr Puch Haflinger TDC - Royal Navy

Is there anyone who can recall Haflingers? I am looking for any interesting information and especially for historic pictures, in which Haflingers can be seen. I'd love to hear from you! Please send a PM or contact me via my website.

Kind regards,
Constantin
