R4H,
if you have managed to read all the postings on this thread you will have seen that at JATE we were dropping the Scorpion in the 1970s. I only ever recall dropping it on an MSP (the Jaguar engined version) but dragartist recalls dropping the heavier Diesel version on the HSP. I find it odd that the 'wheel'
was being reinvented in 2001 especially as the HSP was supposed to be 'not wanted on voyage' from not long after my time at JATE.
As I recounted in a previous post we also dropped troops following an MSP.
