Finalists were asked to imagine that the four Bedford Army vehicles, which were put on their sides, were in fact 81/2-ton tippers, loaded with sharp sand, which had gone out of control and turned over.
To add to their difficulties, contestants were told that the vehicles were on a 1 in 14 gradient in a narrow road opposite the garden of a local councillor. accident, their regard to safety and their technical ability in recovering the vehicle without further damage.
The prize, donated by C. F. Holmes of Dereham, Norfolk, is a silver cup which will be retained by Mr Carruthers for six months and by the Army team for the following six months.
