Dougie, that was the exercise where low loaders kept turning up at Toulose with the Army's newest concept vehicle, the flat pack land rover ! Even funnier was it was decided that the recovery vehicle was far too valuable to be dropped on an MSP so it was offloaded at Evreux and sent back to UK on a flat floor frame, with the windscreen tied to the side wall to be refitted slow time at base. Prior to landing at Lyneham the message was passed to the crew the vehicle was urgently needed in France, so the driver and his mate drove off the ramp and towards the ferry, with the windscreen found afterwards , at least they had goggles!
