About the Alvis FV622 Stalwart Mk.2

The Alvis Stalwart was developed as a high-mobility amphibious load carrier for the British Army, capable of transporting supplies and equipment across a wide range of terrain, including deep water. The Mk.2 variant introduced improvements over the original design, refining its performance and reliability in service.

Powered by a robust engine and fitted with a fully amphibious hull, the Stalwart was widely used throughout the Cold War period in support roles, providing essential logistical support to frontline units.

Its unusual high-sided cargo body, large wheels, and floating capability give it one of the most recognisable silhouettes of any British military vehicle.
