Vehicle show in Arlington, Washington
« on: July 11, 2016, 12:13:17 PM »
Hey all,

I took my RFSV to a vehicle show last Friday.  It was a one of a kind for sure.  No other Land Rovers at the show.  I saw a lot of different vehicles and took a few photos.

Half Tracks:

Now that is a show. A great variety _ interesting that there were fighter planes in the mix but not tanks. Thanks for the photos.

I see my vehicle everyday so I didn't think to shoot photos of her but there is one photo.  People from local military vehicle club were impressed that she was so complete with original equipment.

Thank you for the RFSV photo. It looks like you have the step plate or cover over the pintle hook. I have noticed some RFSV do not have them - and the mystery is... do they go missing in transit, get redeployed to other vehicles or were some never fitted. I'm not sure whether its a component of the mission upgrade kit aka RFSV mk2. (I could look it up if I wasn't working.)
