Just had this posted on my fb site and thought you lot would be interested in this.

I'm gonna call it the "ICE CREAM AMBI" as it looks like one

(The army will find a job & employ everyone)

Me ? I've never seen one in all my time in the Army, what about you? .....

My thoughts are; "Do Not Ride X-Country or over Rubble" the front wheel will collapse and picking up an injured body on your own is rather hard, I'm not on about the one in the "Ice Cream Ambis" box either, it's the guy who is riding it and gets catapulted through the air when it happens ........... lol

Choc ices! Get your choc ices! Albatross! Stormy Petrel on a Stick! Gannet Ripple! Wouldn't the jingles on the battlefield be a bit of a giveaway?

I think it would've been hard peddling with two wounded on it. Whatever next?

I'd say just like an icecream cart, pivoting where the bicycle is connected to the rest of the cart, although perhaps the single small front wheel is for steering.

Quite correct, the small wheel is for support when turning l/r and pivots as such.
