thread_title: Picture snatch 1 not 2

message: I have move this anon contribution  to the talk (copy edited and wikilinks added) Here it is in history: 
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)
thread_title: Resistance to RPGs

message: 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.

thread_title: Googlewashed

message: 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.

replies: text: Hi Richard. Perhaps you would consider making a Wikipedia account. You might find it easier to make edits and engage with the community since you would have your own talk page. FYI, the convention on article and user talkpages such as this one is to add new comment sections to the bottom of the existing page. Hohum (talk) 20:56, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Hohum - sorry ... moved.  Too used to blogging. I will open an account.

thread_title: Work in progress

message: The article says 'formally described as the Truck Utility Medium (TUM) with Vehicle Protection Kit (VPK).' I'm sure though that the VPK was the predecessor to the Snatch, which is a different vehicle? It's obvious that the Snatch is a composite armoured vehicle from the ground up, not a converted standard Defender. I'll change this to 'successor to the Truck Utility Medium (TUM) with Vehicle Protection Kit (VPK)' unless there are objections.
