I am sure some other folks have posted pictures outside old garages - Amberly Museum rings a bell?

Anyway, one from today...

Sorry, meant to type.  The picture of the S1 with the caravan.  It's from a website IIRC...  the family bought it secondhand, fabricated up a tent, etc. 

They bought a caravan which was sent by rail, and they proceeded to overland to Africa.  Pretty interesting story.

Just wish I could find the website again.

Only thing I can remember is the author saying Michelin tyres (surely unusual for a S1?) suffered no punctures at all.

Hi,

How about the MT section at RAF Sharjah (two hoots and a holler from Dubai) circa 1961. We had, I think, three or four S1 86", an S1 ambulance that the ambulance driver crashed into the MT yard gate post, an 80" fire tender (that caught fire while in it's garage) ... a brand new 88" S2 delivered while I was there ... promptly claimed by the CO. I think one of the photos shows it parked up un the concrete ramp.

I was driving at night, leaning foreward, looking for an obstacle that I knew was there, somewhere. The Land Rover found it. Four front teeth bent back (Luckily the army dentist was paying his annual visit, up country, from Aden), and a corresponding lump out of the steering wheel. Chiefie noticed the front axle was bent, but too ,late to blame me.
