spent the better time of my 22yrs in the army in these beasties and loved them, me and a colleague got the pack lift down to a fine art to the point of getting down to around 15mins. the secret to these vehicles as you well know was to run them run them run them and they rarely broke down, the problem was that most of the time they sat idle apart from a quick run up on a monday morning and the occasional road run once a month. like you i loved my little 43

Brother drove a 432 when he was in, still remember the part of his driving license that covered this "a track laying vehicle steered by it's tracks" . His was the (normal)armoured personel carrier version (no turret) he also drove (at Sandhurst) a 432 fitted out with lots of radios which was the 'bosses' command post. When he was at Sandhurst he spent most of his time as the 'bosse's' driver. Prior to this he was based at Soltau(in Germany) he decided when he was there that he was bringing his 'panzer' home to show his brother, he was feeling no-pain as he had been celebrating his 21st, needless to say wiser heads prevailed, his mates persuaded him to have another pint. So he forgot all about his plans. I visited him in Soltau. Some of the time I was left to my own devices but one day I visited his troops 'howf' they were having what was known as a sports afternoon so they were all drinking and basically skiving, I think it was one of these recognised tacitly as a nothing gets done evolution, one chap was supposedly refreshing the camoflage on his 432 (with a 4" distemper brush and a tin of paint). When someone posts that a model is inaccurate because that swoosh starts at the fourth rivet along and passes through the middle of that ammo box. I remember that chappie painting the design on with a 4" brush and a pot of paint he found lying about.

My view on whether this vehicle is unreliable is; stuff that is being used is far more likely to work than stuff that sits idle. The army was probably allowed to operate these things for 50 hours per year AND they were probably over-serviced.

I did my Grp "H" test in a FV432 in the 70s and spent years supporting them in 1st & 2nd line REME units. I always felt the designers were a bit mad to combine the brakes and steering in one function as the one thing you really need if either the brakes or steering fail, is the other. Add to that the fact that the proper functioning of brakes/steering was dependent on the correct installation and adjustment of brake bands and a whole collection springs, clips and fixings inside the steering unit, and you have a real potential for the thing to take sudden unexpected excursions off the road, which happened on several occasions to my knowledge.

Maybe you have covered this elsewhere but some of your viewers might be interested to know that the K60 Engine in the 430 Series was really just a smaller version of the L60 in the Chieftain. Two Stroke compression ignition, 6 inline cylinders, 12 Apposed Pistons with 2 Crankshafts and supposedly multifuel though it was rare for them to be run on other than diesel fuel. I seem to remember the Mk1 vehicles having a B81 straight eight petrol engine as in the Stalwart and very similar to the B80s in the Saracen & Saladin.
