RN terminology is much older than Army and RAF terminology.
My best mate is back from abroad so kind of welcome home.

noooo,it was from a coastal village on the west coast of scotland,probably used for boat launching i think.but mr jamesmartin is fitting a new/good chassis to it as we speak.plus doing other jobs on it as well.

Yes ,boat launching can rot the hell out of them. People don't seem to realise it aint a good idea to reverse the whole rear end into the ocean

true,but if land rover would have used decent metal for the chassis and protected it,then we would not have these problems would we.

They just didn't do that, although the steel was better on the older models imo!
Often seen genuine chassis parts with bare metal on them on arrival. I was looking at a two year old Def yesterday, and it had plenty of surface rust on rear chassis
By contrast, a G wagen has about 1mm thick plastic coating on the chassis, shame the bodies rust to ****
