Anyway, a SATCO can't have too many Defenders! Although I did do a swap with the Fire Section at Waddington, letting them have one of our SWB Landys in exchange for their J2 [?] van, as it was easier for the WRAF to use when laying out the night-flying lighting and had enough floor space to remove the need to haul a trailer-full of Glim Lamps around the airfield.
"Rover 2" at Stanley was our "Alternate Approach" FFR LWB Landy, fitted for and equipped with DRDF and UHF r/t, which would go and hide in a cleft in the rocks [which explain the home-brewed colour scheme] and plug in to assorted aerials to do the job.
