Description: Land Rover drives off LCM(9) L700 into the water, and wades - it has a very low profile, and is almost submerged. It links up with a beach armoured recovery vehicle. A DUKW full of army personnel is in the background.
The Land Rover manoeuvres in the water off Instow before driving back on board L700, back into the water again, and reversing into LCV(P) L128. Close shots as it drives in the shallows then reverses back onto L128 again.
