John Craddock Ltd Magazine (General News)
Military Land Rovers can be a good choice if you are looking for a no nonsense, practical 4×4 which has been regularly maintained during its working life. Keeping yours in good condition is easy with the range of Land Rover parts available at John Craddock Ltd.
Since the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Ministry of Defence realised that it needed a suitable utilitarian off road vehicle. Having made use of US Jeeps during the conflict, such light military vehicles had proved their worth in all areas of deployment. Following its unveiling at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948, the British Army commissioned its first intake of Series 1 Land Rovers the following year…the rest as they say, is history.
Over the last 70 years, The Land Rover has proven to be an integral part of the Armed Forces equipment. All three services have made full use of this iconic 4×4’s adaptability and capabilities. Whether it is as a battlefield ambulance, a patrol vehicle for airfields, transport for special forces missions, or a workhorse for ferrying personnel and equipment, the Land Rover has seen action in the field all over the globe. The Wolf is essentially the military’s version of the Defender and is easily recognised in its dark green, camouflage, or desert livery.
