I can remember seeing once somewhere a101gs fitted with a HIAB. The name Challenger rings a bell too. Was this a limited production model (estimated max of 6 produced) or were they fitted by Reme as an add on? If anyone could shed any light on this matter..and if you can point me in the direction of a piccy i would be highly grateful..

101 Ambie (Matilda)Found this on Google:
Mmm....no not a 101 is it,never mind.To clarify a bit the "challenger" i think was like a pet name given to the 101 fitted with the HIAB. I know (now) it has nothing to do with "Project Challenger" Oh well gotta keep hunting.... Rev 'n' Go Brev

There is one at the Dunsfold Collection, it might have been out on display recently if anyone was there?
A Brit in the US has one, Howard I think. He might be lurking.
Some info here with a piccy of one I think:
All the best
Cheers Wayne !!! I knew I had seen one. Pity about the soundtrack on the site "MASH" or "Suicide is Senseless" as i think it was called.... Should have been "Iron Maiden".......

...Ozzy, before he was a wreck.
that means Ozzy would have been about 7...he's always been a wreck! All aboard.....!
Painless.
Here is a link to a model one
There is one in the SEME Museum at Bordon which is worth a visit if that's your thing, they need supporting.
AFAIK it was a REME mod with a home made cab. The crane is directly over the LH chassis rail and there is one stabilser (I am the sad sort who crawls under the exhibits!) I believe they had a reputation for bending the chassis over time.
