According to some Aussie and UK Diggers on the Ferret list, the brit
vehicles have doors. All manual. They like them because you can step
out of the vehicle, light a cig, and then move away before you break
cover of the doors.
Additionaly, one related the other benefits of certain vehicles in
regards to being able to store ice/beer under floor plate and in
cleaned out battery cases for during/after exercises. He especially
liked it in the M113's from the US that they were issued for at time
as fitter/repair vehicles. The area under those plates had lots of
room for beer and ice.
The priorities on some of the British lists when you ask about the
old days is odd....
