Looking like a vehicle you might expect to see emerging from the pod beneath Gerry Andersons Thunderbird 2, rather than a high-mobility load-carrier for the British Army, the Alvis Stalwart Mk.2 earned a go-anywhere, fear-nothing reputation during its 30-year service career.
A fully amphibious vehicle, this particular variant was equipped with a powerful Atlas loader crane, designed specifically to transport and deliver ammunition for the British Armys FV433 Abbott self-propelled gun, with each Abbott being assigned its own Stalwart for support.
At its shortest extension, the Atlas loading arm could lift a load of three tons, reducing to just less than half that at its maximum four metre extension.
