The Yompers: With 45 Commando in the Falklands War

Product Information

We have developed a LWB version of YOMPER which gives a very useful increase in wheel base of 500 mm between the axles and and a futher 200 mm behind the rear axle. Together with an additional 200mm added at the rear, this makes space for a generous 1,600×1,750mm load bed with 500kg carrying capacity.

In Charlie Higson's second novel in The Enemy series, titled The Dead (2010), Bam tells Greg, "I grew up in the country, you see, always out yomping 'round the fields." [9]

A British company commander details his experience serving in the Falklands War and reflects on the 1982 conflict. British Army slang for the same marching conditions is "tab". (One suggestion is it's from the acronym: Tactical Advance to Battle). [12]) Oh, and the maps they were issued did not contain grid lines! How are you going to coordinate fire support? As usual ingenuity and initiative at the brigade level created a system of grids. Yomping, they call it in the Royal Marine Commandos…it means marching, humping up to 120 lbs of equipment,” I wrote as an “embedded” reporter for the Daily Telegraph on a borrowed typewriter in the manager’s office at Douglas Settlement, midway through the great yomp. The story reached the London press on June 3rd, thirty long years ago, and introduced the world to both commando slang that has never ceased to reverberate, and a glimpse of the extraordinary qualities of men who included one Captain Ian Gardiner, CO of X Ray Company, 45 Commando.
