Utility car (articulated) 3121 (rail cleaning) in front of the depot Mickten. This is the Democratic Republic pure, the forlornness admits a certain grey surrounding and not only why the colours of this picture fainted. Look at the humble stop sign; the cobble stone street surface and a single pedestrian wondering if the tiny store's window would show anything desirable and if so it wouldn't have stay there for long. Once in a while there's a strange longing, Heimweh | home sickness but incurable.

Designed by Maurice Wilkes and launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motorshow. It was designed for farm and light industrial use, with a steel box-section chassis and an aluminium body. Originally the Land Rover was a single model offering, which from 1948 until 1951 used an 80-inch (2.03 m) wheelbase and a 1.6-litre petrol engine producing around 50 bhp driving through a four-speed gearbox from the Rover P3 with a new two-speed transfer box. This incorporated an unusual four-wheel-drive system, with a freewheel unit (as used on several Rover cars of the time). The 1.6 litre was replaced in 1952-3 by a 2.0ltr Siamese bore engine, meaning no water passages between the pistons. For the 1954 model year saw the 86 inch wheelbase replace the 80 inch and the introduction of a 107 inch wheelbase Pick Up version.

The series II and IIA are difficult to distinguish with only minor cosmetic differences the most significant mechanical change being the introduction of the new 2.25 ltr Diesel engine. They came in a wide range of body styles and on a SWB 88 inch or LWB 109 inch chassis. This being a 1970 SWB soft top model.
In 1969 (February) home market models had the head lamps moved into the wings and sill panels were redesigned to be shallower a few months later

This off-road vehicle was primarily produced to meet the British Army's requirement for a Gun Tractor, and was designed to tow a Field Gun (L118 Light Gun) with a ton of Ammunition and other Equipment in the rear load space, giving it the alternative name of the Land Rover ''One Tonne'' the vehicle was designed to be easily transported by air, the positioning of the 3.5 litre Rover V8 engine beneath and to the rear of the cab eliminates the bonnet at the front, making the vehicle more or less cuboid thus reducing unused space in Transport Aircraft. Of concern was the payload and limited stability, particularly when crossing an incline.
The official name of ''101 Forward Control'' is derived from the vehicle's 101 inch wheelbase, and the position of the driver, above and slightly in front of the front wheels which used a fairly large 9.00x16in tyre. To cope with the extra height above the ground, the wheels feature an unusual feature for a Land Rover (but used for many years on the much older and similar Mercedes Unimog S404) a flange around the centre of the wheel has an embossed tread pattern forming a step for the crew when entering the cab, named a 'wheel-step'.
Development of the 101 Forward Control started in 1967, with a design team led by Norman Busby (14th October 1931 to 30th June 2005). Production took place between 1972 and 1978, in common practice of the Armed Forces, many vehicles were not used for some years and it is not unheard of for Military Vehicle enthusiasts to pick up these vehicles after only a few thousand miles service. All the vehicles produced at the Land Rover factory at Lode Lane, Solihull were soft top ('rag top') General Service Gun Tractors, although later on many were rebuilt with hard-top Ambulance bodies and as Radio Communication Trucks. A rare variant is the Electronic Warfare Vampire body, it is thought that only 21 of these were produced and less than half of these survive today.
The 101 Forward Control also served with the RAF Regiment, two 101's were allocated to each Rapier Missile set up, the British RAF Rapier System used three Land Rovers in deployment, a 24V winch fitted 101 Firing Unit Tractor (FUT) to tow the Launch Trailer, loaded with four Rapier Missiles, Guidance Equipment and radio, a 12V winch fitted 101 Tracking Radar Tractor (TRT) to tow the Blindfire Radar Trailer, also loaded with four Rapier Missiles and Guidance Equipment, and a 109 Land Rover to tow a Reload Trailer with 9 Rapier Missiles and loaded with the unit's other supplies and kit.
The 101 Forward Control also served in the Ambulance role, the Ambulance bodywork was built by Marshall of Cambridge, and was manufactured in both left and right hand drive with either 12 or 24 volt electrical systems. Some 101 Forward Control's were produced with a PTO powered Nokken capstan winch mounted on the chassis at the centre of the vehicle, allowing winching from either the front or rear. Another variation on a small number of pre-production vehicles was the addition of a trailer with an axle driven from the PTO, creating a 6x6 vehicle, this adaptation was abandoned before full production when it was discovered that the trailer had a propensity to push the vehicle onto its side when driven over rough terrain.
By the late 1990's, the 101 Forward Control's were decommissioned by the MoD and were replaced with Defenders and Pinzgauer Vehicles. Many 101's have entered into private ownership and there is a thriving 'Owners Club' supporting these sourcing spares and providing technical support the club also keeps a register of known surviving vehicles throughout the world. A prototype 101 was built based on a Recovery Vehicle, but only one of these is known to be in existence, at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, Warwickshire.

The Land Rover was conceived by the Rover Company in 1947 during the aftermath of World War II. Maurice Wilks, Rover's chief designer came up with a plan to produce a light agricultural and utility vehicle, of a similar concept to the Willys Jeep used in the war, but with an emphasis on agricultural use. The first prototype was built on a Willys Jeep chassis and used the engine and gearbox out of a Rover P3 saloon car. The bodywork was handmade out of an aluminium/magnesium alloy called Birmabright, to save on steel, which was closely rationed.
Land Rover entered production in 1948, later to be known as the Series 1, and was launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show. It was designed for farm and light industrial use, with a steel box-section chassis and an aluminium body. Originally the Land Rover was a single model offering, which from 1948 until 1951 used an 80-inch wheel base and a 1.6-litre petrol engine producing around 50 bhp. The four-speed gearbox from the Rover P3 was used, with a new two-speed transfer box. This incorporated an unusual four-wheel-drive system, with a freewheel unit (as used on several Rover cars of the time). This disengaged the front axle from the manual transmission on the overrun, allowing a form of non- permanent 4WD. A ring-pull mechanism in the driver's footwell allowed the freewheel to be locked to provide more traditional 4WD. This was a basic vehicle: tops for the doors and a roof (canvas or metal) were optional extras. In 1950, the lights moved from a position behind the grille to protruding through the grille.
During 1950, the unusual semi-permanent 4WD system was replaced with a more conventional setup, with drive to the front axle being taken through a simple dog clutch. In 1952 and 1953, a larger 2.0-litre petrol engine was fitted. he 1954 model year brought major changes with the original 80 inch wheel base replaced with an 86 inch wheel base and a 107 inch wheelbase, pick up version introduced. September 1955 saw the introduction of a four door station wagon on the 107 wheel base chassis, with seating for up to ten people. The 86-inch station wagon was a three-door, seven-seater.

Midway through the 1936 model year, the cabs on Chevrolet trucks underwent a design change. Trucks produced during the first half of the model year were built with a square cab design popular in truck lines for over a decade. At mid-year, Chevrolet began building a more rounded cab body reflective of automotive styling trends in the mid-30s, along with the styling of many competitors trucks. The more squared cabs became known as "high cabs" while the more rounded cabs were known as "low cabs."

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 tracks powered. 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 it's 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 water speed of up to 2.9 mph. 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 Bv206 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.

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.
