Heh. The company I work for has a bunch of 1009's that were at Withycombe
at one time. You might recognize them as they all seem to have a mod done
which consists of a hole drilled in the hood on the pass. side front, which
corresponds to a post which comes up through the hole when the hood is
closed, allowing for a padlock to be installed. Never seen that on any save
the OR ARNG vehicles.
Curiously, the logbook paperwork for our vehicles lists a large variety of
fictional maladies ranging from "blown motor" to a pre-turn-in inventory
detailing a bunch of missing or non-functional stuff that's pure fantasy.
Some motorpool wog in a hurry to cashier the things, was he?
