Got my copy today from Smiths. Yep, the £12.99 was honoured. Now, can anyone help me identify if it is a new reprinted copy I have, or if its one of the older prints? Whats new in it?

[tinweasel]

My copy from smiths came through the post last friday, I havent had a proper chance to compaire it with my old copy yet, but the price on the back of my old one is £19.99 also if you look at the photo on the back the new one tells you that it was taken at RAF Halton courtesy of Richard Caney (Halton is my local RAF base and if you look at the photos I took on spta you will see Richard's 90 gs)

Hope that helps mate

Cheers mate,

Looks like my bargain from Smiths is indeed the 2010 reprint. I am really chuffed with that.

[landymad]

im glad to see my link to Smiths came in handly. i ordered one off ebay and that came as the new print was hoping it would be old stock so i have both but never mind i now have two of the new one.

My first post on this forum: I have just recieved my copy of "The Half Ton Military Land Rover" by Mark Cook and what a fabulous read it is too. I have only skimmed it and am looking forward to getting "Stuck In". Veloce Publishing are giving substantial discount on this book now. £17 inc postage phone 01305 260068 .

I have no connection with either Author or Publishers, Just the Happy owner of 08GX90 Lightweight GS (now FFR) radio Platform;-)

Just wondering , nothing further reported to date on the 2010 "reprint" , I understand a few small errors were corrected - in comparison to the earlier (original) edition - could somebody please list what is additional new , are there additional pages , a BIGGER book

The changes are that some new photos have added, or indeed swopped. Possibly the most interesting in my view is one of a wheel barrow carrier in use by 321 Explosive Ordnance unit Company, RAOC on operations in South Armagh in 1981. This photograph was supplied by Paul Wharton a former bomb disposal officer.
Ref the changes in text are fairly minor some new facts have been added to various parts including the addition on the use of Cypriot National Guard vehicles in the Rover 1 chapter. Book is the same number of pages.
