Thanks jackonicko you have understood the q's. Fobotcso could do with reading a little more into the questions rather than going off on one. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Admin Guru - the new landies don't fit, or so the trials mates at EGDM tell us, and i think they probably know, don't you.
Still, don't know how they managed to find time to tell us, what with all that whinging they were doing about pay and such like...

I was told about the Landrover problem in 1989, when I first saw the EH-101.
Don't know when they changed Landrovers, or what the changes are.
Those Toyota trucks sure seem to hold up well in Afghanistan! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Cyclic Hotline,
The earlier little Landies had leaf springs. The later ones have coil springs, bigger overall body dimensions and sit higher.
They were talking about the EHI 01 a long time before 1989, don't know when they noticed the new Landrovers wouldn't fit though. I think the design was already committed.

Must be something about Benson...
The Argosy (Whistling T1t) was designed to carry the Saracen APC. By the time AW's finest entered service, the Saracen was up to the Mk 2 version and - guess what? - it didn't fit.
I see we are still learning from our mastikes - not.

OIC,
Not necessarily! But I recall that being part of the original requirement. I know the steep angle of dangle of the ramp was a problem, I saw them trying to winch one in once. I don't think driving one in was possible.
Some of the glossy blurb showed Argocats being used instead!
Underslung is better anyway, it's quicker to load and allows for an instant large reduction in gross weight..
