Not the best demo of the ac's capabilities as neither of those vehicles will be used by the British Army in the next few years
Its more idicative of just how long this project has been going. The contract had to list representative loads and at the time of writing Scorpion and Land Rover and trailer were it.
However looking at the photo the line in the Aircraft Spec that these loads should not need shoaring has either been deleted / ignored by Airbus and the PT. Mind you it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't yet another example of JATE applying SOP to a system which still hasn't had any procedures written for it let alone had them made standard.
