The Aquatrack was a fully amphibious load carrier built by GKN in the United Kingdom. The 8-tonne model could carry either a vehicle or up to 40 people. Its top speed in the water was 7 knots (about 13 km/h), and it could operate in conditions up to sea state 5.
Sale
Around 2000-2001 a dealer in Witham offered several almost new examples for sale. They were fully equipped for sea use, with GPS, and had only about 200 hours of service. The dealer suggested them for rescue, environmental, exploration and survey work. Correspondence in the archive shows that the dealer's web designer asked to use a photograph from the Philippine Marines website, as the seller had no suitable pictures of his own.
