Photographer Pete says: “We haven’t seen each other since the Falklands War. A massive thank you to The Sun for getting us all together from the four corners of the country.”

Yorkshire firm Yomper goes a stage or two further, stripping the vehicle down to its bare bones before giving it a custom rebuild. Buyers can spec it as a tipper, so they don’t have to hop in with a shovel to unload loose materials. Handily, the design leaves room for a full-size spare wheel to be stowed underneath. We also reunited the heroes with commando photographer Pete Holdgate who took the iconic picture on June 14, 1982, the day ­Argentina surrendered.

Association of Royal Navy Officers YearbookThis book is quite a bit more serious than its populist title would indicate.
