Utility car H.22 nicknamed: 'De stofzuiger' (Vacuum cleaner) in front of Hotel Lucas opposite the railway station (former S.S. these days Central Station). After the PCC cars were introduced on tram routes ending at the station a triangle was constructed to let them reverse. These days the same spot is totally unrecognizable though the street as such is still there as a passage through a building complex towards the inner city.

Motorcar Nº 274 in use for driver instructions passes the stop of route Nº 8 on the once stylish square in front of the 'Kurhaus' (Spa) and Gallery. It all (the hotel building exempt) make place for a characterless and far from pleasant surroundings. I can't accentuate it enough; this part of Scheveningen is spoilt forever. Instead of renovating and keeping the past structures alive one chooses for a complete refurbishing. The passengers at the stop are waiting for the so called 'open tram' - motorcar Nº 265 with trailer 505 being part of the heritage fleet but in the summertime on certain days running as an extra service. The front of the motorcar (fully restored) same type as Nº 274 is visible behind it.

Motorcar 824 on its way to the depot (Scheveningen) on route Nº 14 short before closure (October 1965) or even after. Another possibility; the car indeed did duty on route Nº 9 (deviated or shortened) due to the festivities on 'Prinsjesdag' (Prince's day) in September. The red Volkswagen Beetle forms a nice contrast on what seems to be a rainy day.

One of a batch of 60 Albion Clansman FT103N Mobile Workshop vehicles supplied to the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers (REME) from 1950, the vehicles where kitted out with a lathe, drilling machine and other workshop tools for field repairs to be carried out. For power they would have towed a generator trailer.
Not many of these vehicles remain, there are a few of them in preservation but many had been turned into commercial vehicles, with less than a handful retaining the original rear body. The Clansman was fitted with an Albion EN286, 4 cylinder diesel engine and a five speed Albion gearbox, driving both rear axles in a 6x4 configuration.
This is definitely an Albion vehicle, but the radiator grill has two ''shoulders'' and the Clansman is the nearest model I could identify it to, but in all the photos I have seen, the radiator has a level top ? any further information would be greatfully received.

Bandvagn 206 (Bv 206) (meaning ''Tracked Vehicle 206'' in English) is a Tracked Articulated, All-Terrain Carrier developed by Hägglunds (now part of BAE Systems Platforms & Services) for the Swedish Army. It consists of two units, with all four powered tracks. It can carry up to 17 Personnel (6 in the front compartment, 11 in the rear) and the trailer unit can be adapted for different uses.
Development of the Bv 206 All-Terrain Articulated Tracked Carrier began in 1974, three batches of trial vehicles were delivered between 1976 and 1978 and the first production examples were delivered to the Swedish Defence Administration in 1980. Like its predecessor, the Volvo Bv 202, the Bv 206 is designed to carry Troops and equipment through snow and bog-lands in northern Sweden. The low ground pressure enables the Bv 206 to cope with a wide range of difficult conditions. It is also fully Amphibious, with a speed in water of up to 2.9mph. Over 11,000 units have been produced and they are used in more than 37 countries worldwide.
The total load capacity is 4,960lb and a trailer of up to 5,500lb gross weight can also be towed behind the second compartment. The Bv 206 is referred to as a 'Small Unit Support Vehicle' (SUSV) pronounced ''susvee'' in United States service. U.S Military variants include the standard model (M973) a Tactical Operations Center variant (M1065) an Ambulance variant (M1066) and a Flat-Bed Cargo Carrier (M1067). U.S Military models are fitted with a 6-cylinder Mercedes diesel engine and a non-halon fire suppression system, since 1997 due to several cases where the front car caught fire and burned to the frame.
Users include the American and Australian Antarctic Research Organizations and British, Icelandic and Canadian Search and Rescue Services. They are also used for Search and Rescue Services in the Austrian alpine region. The Bv 206 was used in Combat by the Canadian Army during 'Operation Anaconda'. The Singapore Armed Forces uses the Bv 206 and recently transferred several of them to the Singapore Civil Defence Force for use as a Firefighting Platform. Decommissioned units have been purchased by private owners and rented as transports, particularly in Alberta, Canada, to access remote oil wells, as well as cut blocks which need to be reforested by tree planting.
Hägglunds Bv 206 Variants:-
**Bv 206A - An Ambulance version, which is capable of carrying stretchers in the rear compartment.
**Bv 206F - Fire Appliance variant.
**RaBv 2061 - (RadioBandvagn 2061) Swedish Army Communications / Command version, fitted with Radio Equipment and workplaces for Personnel.
**PvBv 2062 - (PansarvärnsBandvagn 2062) Swedish Army Anti-Tank Vehicle, an open top version of the Bv 206 armed with a 90mm Pvpj 1110 Recoilless Anti-Tank Gun.
**PvBv 2063 - (PansarvärnsBandvagn 2063) Swedish Army Anti-Tank Vehicle, similar to PvBv 2062, but fitted with the Launch System for an ATGM, either the TOW (Rbs 55) or the Bofors BILL (Rbs 56).
**Bv 206S - Armoured Personnel Carrier variant of the Bv 206, which provides protection from Small Arms fire for Personnel. It is in service with the Armed Forces of France, Germany (379 Bv 206D/S ordered) Spain, Netherlands, Italy (158 units) Sweden (50 units), Greece (Bv 208) and Singapore (300 units) which has replaced it with the Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier. Using a Steyr M1-''Monoblock'' engine (6-cylinder, 174hp) the vehicle can carry the Driver and 12 Combat-Equipped Troops, four in the front compartment and eight in the rear. The Bv 206S can be underslung and airlifted by Boeing CH-47 Chinook and Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion Helicopters or carried in the C130 Hercules Aircraft, amongst others. Canadian Troops taking part in 'Operation Anaconda' in Afghanistan made good use of this vehicle, riding over rough mountainous terrain with full Combat Gear, allowing the Troops to avoid the exhaustion they would have felt moving on foot at such high altitudes and in such conditions. The British Army is looking to replace its Bv 206D's by 2020.
**GAZ-3351 - Produced in Russia under license from Hägglunds by the GAZ Group at the Zavolzhsky Plant Of Caterpillar Tractors, uses a 6-cylinder Steyr M16 turbodiesel engine.

Land Rover 110 Defender 4x4 Utility Vehicle
The British Land Rover, one of the most influential and much-loved British vehicles of all time, was launched in 1948 and remained in production with much the same basic specification until 1983 when the Series III 109 inch was replaced by a new One-Ten model (110 inch wheelbase). The traditional Land Rover body shape remained but coil springs, introduced in the new Range Rover, replaced the long-lived leaf spring suspension, and the four cylinder engines were fitted with an all-synchromesh five speed gearbox. In 1984 the coil spring Ninety (with a wheelbase just short of 93 inches) fitted with a four cylinder engine was introduced. A V8-powered version appeared the following year and in 1986 a new 85bhp, 2495cc turbo-diesel engine became available, then in 1990 the Ninety and One-Ten range was renamed Defender 90, 110 and 130. Not surprisingly the new Land Rovers proved popular for Military use and UK Ministry of Defence.
Land Rover has a range of specialised Defence Vehicles including the Defender FFR (Fitted for Radio) model, a platform to provide modern Defence Forces with a flexible and highly-mobile range of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4i) roles. The vehicle combines an upgraded dual-voltage power supply and full electrical suppression with the acclaimed all-terrain performance of the Land Rover Defender. It is capable of transporting sensitive electronic equipment safely through challenging conditions in support of C4i operations, and is also effective as a carrier of electronic surveillance and electronic counter-measures technology.
To support the power demands of the latest electronic equipment, the new Defender FFR features a new electrical architecture with a dual 12v / 24v power supply, replacing the 24v system of the previous model. The total output is raised from 100 amps to 280 amps, enabling a significant increase in the amount of C4i equipment that can be operated. Two high-output 12v glass mat, air-transportable military specification batteries are fitted, giving improved engine cranking at lower temperatures. The batteries are now stowed under the rear floor, releasing extra space in rear body for equipment. All of the Defender FFR’s electrical systems are fully suppressed in accordance with the most stringent test standards (including Def Stan 59-411 Class A and Mil Std 461F) enabling C4i equipment to be installed without further suppression work.
The operational performance of the Defender FFR is further enhanced by the standardisation of a heavy duty 3500kg chassis, providing improved payload capability, and the fitment of a new 90kW 2.4-litre diesel engine which offers over 35% more torque than the previous model.
Additional improvements include a more spacious and efficient driving environment with a new ergonomic dashboard design, and a foldable forward-facing radio operator’s seat with integral headrest and 3-point safety belt for improved comfort and safety.

My brother, one of my sons, and I spent a couple of days putting in new fence-posts and paving around my mother's home.
The successor to the successful series I was the series II, which saw a production run from 1958 to 1961. It came in 88 in and 109 in wheelbases (normally referred to as the 'SWB' and 'LWB'). This was the first Land Rover to receive the attention of Rover's styling department. Chief Stylist David Bache produced the familiar 'barrel side' waistline, with a 5 in greater width to cover the vehicle's wider tracks, as well as the improved design of the truck cab variant, introducing the curved side windows and rounded roof still used on current Land Rovers.
The series II was the first vehicle to use the well-known 2.25-litre petrol engine, although the first 1,500 or so short wheelbase (SWB) models retained the 52 hp 2.0-litre petrol engine from the series I. This larger petrol engine produced 72 hp and was closely related to the 2.0-litre diesel unit still in use. This engine became the standard Land Rover unit until the mid-1980's when diesel engines became more popular.
The 109 in series II station wagon introduced a twelve-seater option on top of the standard ten-seater layout. This was primarily to take advantage of U.K tax laws, by which a vehicle with 12 seats or more was classed as a bus, and was exempt from Purchase Tax and Special Vehicle Tax. This made the twelve-seater not only cheaper to buy than the 10-seater version, but also cheaper than the seven-seater 88 in Station Wagon. The twelve-seater layout remained a highly popular body style for decades, being retained on the later series and Defender variants until 2002, when it was dropped.
The unusual status of the twelve-seater remained until the end, such vehicles were classed as minibuses and thus could use bus lanes and (if registered correctly) could be exempt from the London Congestion Charge. There was some degree of overlap between series I and II production. Early series II 88 in vehicles were fitted with the old 2-litre petrol engine to use up existing stock from production of the series I. The 107 in Station Wagon continued until late 1959 due to continued demand from export markets and to allow the production of series-II components to reach full level.
