Is it based on the 60 ton recovery thing the REME use?

Nope... new built throughout... obviously can't say much about it... but it is... as it's name suggests... a capable wee beastie!

Yes... and amazingly smooth!
Went from Arbroath (Barrybuddon) to Fife (Cultybraggan) in one once... didn't even notice it take off till it tilted on it's side and roared away!
The loadies were allowing some of the female TA soldiers to sit on the lowered ramp in a harness connected to the roof... letting their legs flap in the slipstream at however many thousand feet we were flying.
One of the loud blokes insisted on having a go... the loadies strapped him in and he insisted on standing on the lip of the ramp... leaning out... with slack on the harness...
The loadies echanged a look and one picked up a spare harness... and waved the hook end in his face... never seen anyone go so white so fast before! He took off and sprinted up the cargo area... till he ran out of slack in the strop... at which point he ended up in mid air and then on his... erm... "jacksie"!!!
Funniest thing ever!

And you'll be glad to hear this one aint intended to swim!
If indeed swim is what you can describe bobbing about in the rhine with about an inch of freeboard... with the Russians taking pot shots!! :shock: :lol:
