Forskar på Amfibiebil 101 av Rörligt Kustartilleri 1962 - 1985. Alvis Stalwart research

Hej alla.

Jag forskar om Amfibiebil 101 och letar efter människors personliga erfarenheter och foton.

 

Tack för tillägget och förlåt för Google-översättningen.

 

Jag är före detta brittiska armén, Royal Engineers, och brukade köra Alvis Stalwart i Tyskland.

2013 gick jag med i gruppen HMLC Stalwart på Facebook, som jag nu hjälper till att driva. https://www.facebook.com/groups/110456768992136

 

Under Lockdown 1 2020 började jag samla alla verkstads- och användarmanualer för att hålla mig sysselsatt.

Jag började sedan forska i Stawarts historia, eftersom det finns så många fel på Wikipedia-sidan.

Jag har nu en webbplats som har en dedikerad sida till Amfibiebil 101. Vänligen besök den.

https://sites.google.com/view/alvis-stalwart-hmlc-files/alvis-stalwart-hmlc-section/swedish-amfibiebil-101

 

Jag är fortfarande förvirrad över vad Stalwart användes till och av vem mellan 1962 och när Rörliga spärrbataljon bildades 1969.

Alla personliga konton eller bilder skulle uppskattas mycket.

Jag har skapat en offentlig Facebook-grupp för de som inte gillar att svara på frågor om att gå med i Facebook-grupperna. https://www.facebook.com/groups/7044169475613405

 

Jag har sett digitalmuseums hemsida - och alla kustartillerigrupper och sidor, och de svenska museerna på Facebook

 

Om du kan dela detta till några grupper eller forum så skulle det uppskattas

Tack så mycket för hjälpen

 

Hi all.

I'm researching the Amfibiebil 101, and looking for people's personal experiences and photos.

 

Thanks for the add, and sorry for the Google translation.

 

I'm ex British Army, Royal Engineers, and used to drive Alvis Stalwart in Germany.

In 2013 I joined the HMLC Stalwart group on Facebook, which I now help to run. https://www.facebook.com/groups/110456768992136

 

During Lockdown 1 in 2020 I started to gather all the workshop and user manuals to keep myself occupied.

I then started to research the Stalwart history, as there is so many errors on the Wikipedia page.

I now have a website, which has a dedicated page to the Amfibiebil 101. Please do pay it a visit.

https://sites.google.com/view/alvis-stalwart-hmlc-files/alvis-stalwart-hmlc-section/swedish-amfibiebil-101

 

I'm still confused of what the Stalwart was used for and by whom between 1962 and when the Rörliga spärrbataljon being formed in 1969.

Any personal accounts or photos would be greatly appreciated.

I've set up a public Facebook group for those who don't like answering joining questions on the Facebook groups. https://www.facebook.com/groups/7044169475613405

 

I have seen the digitalmuseum website - and all the kustartilleri groups and pages, and the Swedish museums on Facebook

 

If you can share this to any groups or forums then that would be appreciated

Many thanks for your help

15 Swedish Stalwarts were bought by a British man in 1983. They're seen here waiting at Gothenberg before shipping back to the UK

5 101 C of those 15 101s were sold to Sri Lanka, to help in the fight against the Tamil tigers. 

One seen unloading here in 1985.

Below shows #Stalwart driver training in Sri Lanka, with British civilians giving the instruction.

The British civilians were not allowed off camp during their one month in Sri Lanka - in case they were kidnapped. They were issued with side arms, and told to use it if they ever felt threatened.
