[Healeys] A question about "LWB"

[Simon Lachlan]

In British military we had/have LWB & SWB Land Rovers.
Long & Short Wheel Base.
SWB were light air portables and were dropped from big choppers or C130s
etc. They came down on chutes with such a wallop that their pallets were
usually matchwood and they could practically be driven right away. The
suspensions and steering suffered something rotten, so only a mug or the
very well informed buys an ex army SWB!
