— Anglia Motel Veterans champion Harold Payne’s final 80th D-Day voyage pays respects to the fallen —

The organiser of a voyage to France to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day is on his final pilgrimage to pay tribute to the bravery of our armed forces. Harold Payne has taken a final coach party to Normandy to pay respects to allied forces killed in World War II. Sadly, any remaining veterans who would have accompanied him for Thursday’s anniversary have since died. The veterans' champion, who owns the Anglia Motel in Fleet Hargate, said: ''Over the past 30 years I have had the honour to take local veterans back to Normandy to pay respect to their fallen comrades''.

''Now for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, for the first and final time I will be returning without any veterans as they have now all passed away. For this, my final tribute to the bravery of all those who died for our freedom, I shall return taking with me my amphibious landing craft to the beaches where all those years ago so many lost their lives.”

To break the Nazis’ stranglehold on Europe, Allied forces launched ''Operation Overlord'' on June 6th, 1944, when thousands of British, American and Canadian troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to fight their way up – while being battered by enemy fire. The sea was reported to run red and nearly 4,000 deaths and 11,000 allied casualties were recorded by the end of that first fateful day.

The pilgrimages from Lincolnshire were launched after a former soldier had stopped at Harold’s Anglian Motel in Fleet Hargate and shared how he didn’t have the means to return to see the friends he had left behind in Arnhem and Normandy. Mr Payne plans to go into the sea in the early hours of today to lay red rose petals and poppies.

He said: ''They may be washed ashore as a reminder of the loss of so many lives''. The charity campaigner has raised funds in aid of veterans to make a pilgrimage to Normandy and visit cemeteries to lay flowers on the graves of friends. To help fund such trips there have been sponsors such as Fleet Parish Council, J Z Flowers and Turnbulls in Sleaford. He said: ''I am fortunate and immensely grateful to have received many sponsors. Many friends and colleagues have also helped to make this memorial tribute possible and I wish to truly thank them on behalf of myself and the past veterans''.

Description: A British Talbot with a customised roadster utility body built as Commissioner's inspection car for the proposed Queensland Transcontinental Railway. The front mudguards are high mounted high to give ample clearance to prevent the buildup of mud, note also the shovel for digging out. The other accessories fitted are typical of the period. No Queensland Transcontinental Railway ever eventuated; at different times one was proposed from Dalby via Roma to the Gulf of Carpentaria and another from Brisbane to Adelaide. The Talbot motor car was known at the time for outstanding reliability. The vehicle is parked outside the Metropolitan Buildings, 85 Adelaide St., Brisbane.

1941-1945 WILLYS MB

The U.S. Army requested a vehicle, and drove off in a 'hero' the Willys MB, its spirit forged by the fire of combat and honed in the heat of battle, seared its way into the hearts of warriors fighting for freedom. Fierce emotional bonds often developed between a soldier and his "Jeep" 4x4. The faithful MB earned a place in every GI's heart, in every area of combat, in every conceivable role. The tough, simple Jeep 4x4 became the GI's best friend, second only to his rifle. One Jeep MB was even awarded a Purple Heart and sent home. General George C. Marshall, US Army Chief of Staff during World War Two, and later U.S. Secretary of State, described the Jeep 4x4 as 'America's greatest contribution to modern warfare' Scripps Howard World War Two reporter Ernie Pyle once said, ''It did everything. It went everywhere. Was a faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule, and as agile as a goat. It constantly carried twice what it was designed for and still kept going."

The Willys MB started a revolution in the use of small military motor vehicles in the U.S. Army, Horses along with motorcycles, solo and side car, were rendered obsolete almost immediately. The all-purpose Willys MB was amazingly versatile, they could be fitted with .30 or .50 caliber Machine Guns for combat and were also widely modified for long-range desert patrol, snow plowing, telephone cable laying, saw milling, as fire-fighting pumpers, field ambulances, tractors and, with suitable wheels, would even run on railway tracks.

Willys MB's could be loaded into transport aircraft for rapid deployment and were also small enough to fit into the large gliders used in the D-day invasion of Europe, over the course of the war, customised field kits were developed for winter and desert conditions, deep-water fording and other combat needs.

Although the Willys MB was not the first four-wheel-drive vehicle, the Go Anywhere, Do Anything vehicle influenced every 4x4 built in its wake. The New York Museum of Modern Art includes a military Jeep Brand 4x4 in its display of eight automobiles and regarded it as “one of the very few genuine expressions of machine art.”

When the UK MoD procured the current military Land Rover fleet in 1996, the coil-sprung turbo-diesel inter-cooled engine Defender HS/XD or ‘Wolf’ version which primarily replaced the last of the leaf-sprung and petrol engined Series III fleet mostly built between 1971 and 1984, they also had on strength several thousand naturally aspirated diesel engine pre-Defender (mostly) long and short wheelbase Land Rovers mainly built around 1985-87. As these mid-80's vehicles had a planned service life of 15 years plus an expectation of a few more years in reserve stocks, only 8,000 of the Wolf model (plus 800 similarly engined stretched wheelbase Pulse Ambulances) were procured. However by 2006/7 the roughly 4,000-strong pre-Wolf fleet was both overdue for replacement and also assessed as being no longer compliant with the latest road safety regulations. Tithonus was a means of temporarily solving these issues without buying a fleet of new vehicles.

There is no doubt that UK MoD got its money’s worth with the pre-Wolf Land Rover fleet, which saw active service in quantity in the 1991 Gulf War and on following operations in the Former Yugoslavia, though it was mostly the Wolf which stepped up to the plate for the later conflicts in Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq, but by 2007 the now 20-year old fleet was getting a little jaded and most of the short wheelbase models had been replaced by their younger Tdi-powered siblings. However the option of buying more Wolf Land Rovers was no longer on the table, as not only had this model only ever been produced for the UK Forces and that part of the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps designated to work alongside the Royal Marines, but once the original contract was fulfilled UK MoD expressed no willingness to support Land Rover in keeping the specialist Wolf jigs and pressings in store for future contracts. In 2007 there was no budget available to allow competitive trials, as required under EU rules, for a new vehicle fleet. The option of a mid-life upgrade for the best of the ageing fleet was, however, deemed viable.

It was therefore decided that around £10 million would be spent on cosmetically sprucing up the best 3,700 or so of the remaining pre-Wolf Land Rover fleet to theoretically extend in-service life to over thirty years. That figure, which works out at around £2,700 per vehicle, had to include fitting a new Wolf-style roll-over cage and bodywork strengthening fitments to the rear compartment plus fitting either a new Wolf-style hard top or canopy, and external protection bars also had to be added to the cab as well as a new paint job applied to make the vehicles look a bit smarter. It was suspected that the £10 million figure did not include ABRO staff wages and when the project team were questioned at DVD 2007 they admitted there was no money in the budget for major mechanical upgrades. The brief was simply: To repair the vehicles to field standard, refurbish bulkheads and chassis, renew all brake components, wheel bearings, hub seals and shock absorbers, wax inject chassis and bulkhead, repaint the vehicle and underseal the chassis.

The external inverted safety hoop over the windscreen was bolted to the the door and windscreen hinges and through the wing top and the two welded tubes which ran above and parallel to the door tops were connected through the new hard top to the front internal roll cage hoop by a single bolt. This bolted construction allowed for the top to be removed and the vehicle to be stripped down to waist height for reduced silhouette in combat environments, where safety from enemy attack naturally takes precedence over peacetime road safety considerations. Turning to the rear roll cage cum canopy support, looked quite similar to that of the 1997/8 Wolf model, but it was actually re-engineered by Ricardo to make it stronger. Marketed by the company as ROPS (Roll Over Protection System) the most noticeable internal difference of strengthening was the cross-bracing behind the cab.

Each Tithonus Land Rover was individually selected and fully refurbished by the MoD in 2007-2008 as part of the British Army LEP (Life Extension Programme) The project was to extend the overall service life of the Land Rover's by 10 years, from 20 to 30 years.

There's a old famous song: don't fence me in, something like: I am not want to be surrounded by barbered wire. However, this peculiar railway vehicle was and even putting the lens through the little openings of the fence couldn't get a clear picture. On the other hand this is the newest way of riding around for the track inspector I suppose. The car was fenced and seen at the station ground in Tanjong Aru close by the international airport at the other side of the road.

Redesigned in 2018 from the ground up, one of the latest Jeep Wranglers for 2021 is a plug-in electric variant dubbed the 4xe to bring the American icon up-to-speed with green energy expectations. As the proud owner of three prior Wranglers, and my current 2016 Unlimited, I enjoy the “spirit of adventure” Wranglers offer and the unequivocal go-anywhere and self-assurance they present. And now, I can partake in Jeep group activities with more planetary consciousness.

In the fire department parking lot one August afternoon.

The Stalwart High Mobility Load Carrier (H.M.L.C) Amphibious Cargo Vehicle was developed by the Alvis Car and Engineering Company as a private venture. It entered service with the British Army in 1966. Its British Army designation is the FV620, in service it was nicknamed the 'Stolly'. The main function of the FV620 Stalwart was to supply forward units with fuel and ammunition, but as this was not an Armoured Vehicle, it offered very little protection. This Amphibious Cargo Vehicle has a payload capacity of 5 tons. In the Troop Carrier configuration it could carry 30 fully equipped Soldiers. The FV620 Stalwart could also tow trailers or Artillery Pieces with a maximum weight of 10 tons. The cargo area of the Stalwart has large drop-down panels with waterproof seals on either side and a drop-tailgate, this area could be covered with a canvas cover for weather protection. The cab of the Stalwart Amphibious Vehicle provides seating for the driver, plus two passengers, the driver being seated in the middle, unusually the cab is entered through the roof hatches.

The FV6 Stalwart is based on the FV603 Saracen 6x6 Armored Personnel Carrier chassis, a number of automotive components are interchangeable. Powered by a Rolls-Royce B-81 Mk.8B petrol engine, developing 220hp powering a full-time all-wheel drive system. The FV620 Stalwart has an impressive cross-country mobility, and is fully amphibious with minimal preparation. On water this cargo vehicle is propelled by two waterjets, giving a maximum amphibious speed on water was of nearly 7mph. It is worth mentioning that waterjet units of the Stalwart were complex and troublesome to maintain, and was common to remove them when amphibious qualities were unnecessary, to simplify maintenance.

Production of the Alvis Stalwart ended a long time ago, then it was also withdrawn from the British Army service, it's Amphibious Transport role was taken over with the use of Utility Helicopters. Many of these Amphibious Carriers were sold to modern-day enthusiasts, many being converted to 'Amphibious Tour Vehicles'.

Variants:

▪︎FV622 Stalwart Mk.2 - General Service, it could carry up to 38 fully-equipped Troops. It could carry a field refueling pack, instead of the cargo. The Stalwart Mk.2 was fitted with improved waterjets. Its maximum speed on water was about 8mph.
