Club Transport

Ideally, we would love to fly our vehicles in to events in Hamilcar and Horsa gliders, but that just ain't gonna happen.  So to move our vehicles, we have our own transport within the club.  Currently we have an M923 5 Ton Cargo truck, and an M35A2C cargo truck, along with one heavy trailer, which will increase to two heavy trailers in the future.  Having our own transport allows us to move anywhere within our own means, and using military 6 x 6 cargo trucks allows us to recover stuck and broken down vehicles under field conditions within our own means as well as transporting them.
