B2R33-23 #WAG9623 and Johnny & family returning in the Rolls Royce powered Austin "Champ"on the beach

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Champ we met this vehicle earlier on our travels along the Nullarbor rabbit tracks.. As the Champ entered service it became apparent that although it had an outstanding cross-country performance, it was too expensive (£1200 at 1951 prices), too complex and had limited use outside of the narrow field combat role for which it had been designed. Consequently, the contract with Austin was amended and finally prematurely terminated some 4,000 vehicles short of the 15,000 originally contracted. The Land Rover, which had entered army service before the Champ (as early as 1949), was half the price, simpler to maintain and could do 80% of the tasks the Champ could do. Ultimately it replaced the Champ in all roles. The Champ served with the British Army in the UK, Africa, Germany, Cyprus, Libya and the Suez Campaign, and early vehicles were sent for troop trials at the end of the Korean War.[b] We drove the Beetle down here, but on a later day, we walked down, (Xmas Day), wandering through the dunes, and then ran back along the beach. I ran backwards, facing Mary and admiring her as she ran towards me. I was searching for the photo Mary said I took of her as I ran, but the photo does not exist. I can't remember that I would have carried the Pentax while running.
