Work in progress

Regular readers of this page will have seen it grow from a small "stub" now to a major entry. As author of the additions, with the permission of the "Wiki" community, I intend to continue expanding this to tell the whole story - as far as I know it - of the "Snatch" drama, which covers an important and interesting period in the history of the British Army, with significant political ramifications.

If, in so doing, I breach some "wiki" conventions, I apologise in advance and ask that I be allowed to develop the story on this page, without major modifications to it - deferring any decision as to whether to break up the page until the work is substantially complete. I will add references progressively, so that the work is fully supported.

My thanks also to those who have corrected errors and typos.

My name is Richard North and I can be contacted directly by e-mail on RAENORTH@aol.com

Googlewashed

This page seems to have been "googlewashed". It is no longer in any way accessible via the google search engine - the search for "snatch land rover" takes you directly to Land Rover Defender. However, the snatch entry is still top of the list on yahoo.

10 November - Service seems to have been restored.

Picture snatch 1 not 2

The picture listed with this article is in fact Snatch 1, not its replacement. You can tell by the front and rear sidelights and indicators, among other things —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.72.157.154 (talk) 13:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Snatch 1 it is.Billlion (talk) 10:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resistance to RPGs

I have move this anon contribution to the talk (copy edited and wikilinks added) Here it is in history: [1]

My experience:

I was in a snatch under heavy fire and can sing its praises combating the penitration of 7.62 soviet however RPG-7s make a right mess of its thin armour

It cant be left in the article as in the article as it counts as "original research". But if someone can find a quotable source for it it would be interesting if one could be found.Billlion (talk) 10:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
