Short history:
At the end of the 1950s when the British Army sought a suitable lightweight, air-transportable, utility vehicle. Presented to the Queen’s troops in 1959, the first prototype was rejected due to its low ground clearance.
The Royal Navy showed a short time some interest in it, as a vehicle for use on the decks of its aircraft carriers. Later there use in in SA and Australia is well known.
