Stalwart MK11
The FV
620 Stalwart, informally known by servicemen as the 'Stolly',
is a highly mobile amphibious
military truck built by Alvis
that served with the British
Army.
The Stalwart was a private venture by Alvis that was adopted and
entered service with the British
Army in 1966 as a general transport truck in preference to the
FV431, the load carrier variant of the FV430
series. It was one of the same line of vehicles that included
the Alvis
Saracen, Saladin
and Salamander.
The high mobility and amphibious capabilities were considered ideal
for resupplying units in the field.
