Oxford Diecast Royal Military Police Berlin 1954 Austin ChampThe Austin Champ was the British Armys answer to the famous US Armys Willys MB Jeep, also already immortalised in our 1: 76 scale Military series The Austin Motor Company manufactured the Champ between 1951 and 1956 as both a military vehicle and subsequently made for civilian use as well.

The Austin Champ was the British Army’s answer to the famous US Army’s Willys MB Jeep, also already immortalised in our 1:76 scale Military series The Austin Motor Company manufactured the Champ between 1951 and 1956 as both a military vehicle and subsequently made for civilian use as well. 

Our replica represents the military version which had the official title Truck ¼ ton, CT, 4x4, Cargo & FTW, Austin Mk I or Truck ¼ ton.  The civilian version was named simply Champ, by which the vehicle was to become unofficially known. Developed by the Nuffield organisation in the late 1940s, the suspension was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis who later became most famous for his design of the Morris Minor and the Mini.

The Champ was an open four seater 4 x 4 vehicle which featured a Rolls-Royce 26.36cc 80 hp (60kw) 14 petrol engine. A light PVC coated hood, hinged doors and a set of weather screens were also available for use in deployments less weather-friendly. Austin were commissioned to build 15,000 at their Longbridge plant although in the end, the vehicle proved so expensive to produce that the last 4000 were never made. Some were fitted out with additional equipment for deployment as field ambulances, telephone line-laying or even carrying armour and a .303 in Vickers Machine gun or .303 Bren gun.  Most, however, served as cargo or personnel carriers and could be fitted with radios. Sadly, the Austin was out-classed by rival Land Rover on economic, performance and driver preference grounds.

Our Austin Champ makes its third appearance as deployed in Berlin with the RMP in 1954-5, less than a decade into the Cold War between Russia and the Western Allies. Berlin was a divided city having been carved up into areas under Russian control and the remainder patrolled and regulated by the Western Allies. Dressed completely in black, our open topped Austin Champ has the beige hood rolled down across the back, grey seating and an otherwise black interior, including the instrument panel.  It is registered 47 BE 29 with right hand drive and features a Union Flag on the front nearside bumper below a Berlin badge printed red and black on a white ground .The offside front bumper has a number 4 black on yellow bridge plate. The Military Police identity is printed in red on a white ground on the front of the bonnet and again to the left of the spare wheel to the rear.  

It would be 1961 before the Berlin Wall was constructed making a permanent barrier between East and West Berlin until 1989. In between times,  the Royal Military Police would have played a key role alongside the serving British Army regiments in the German city.

I love these shoes for working out! Great support and price. They work for cross training, weight training and HIIT workouts. Nice cushion without feeling off balance because its too much. Great value for the price also. This is my 3rd pair in this style.

ASICS shoes never disappoint
Size: 10.5, Color: Cool Grey/White
My husband has run in Asics for years. He usually gets another style but decided to try the Excite because they were on sale. The material in the uppers is very breathable which is nice on hot days. They also have a very stable, thick sole which is perfect for running on asphalt. Generally we don’t walk in our running shoes but on a recent vacation he only had these sneakers so spent a lot of time walking around and they remained incredibly comfy! The Excite seem a bit more narrow in the toe box but otherwise run true to size. We would order them again!

Take my advice, upsize half size bigger
Size: 11.5, Color: Winter Sea/Black
I need to start suggesting everyone that owns Gel-Kayano, Gel-Cumulus and/or GT-1000 14, that if for example you wear US men's size 11 with these, order 11.5 in Gel-Excite 11. When I did a search using AI for getting suggestions on the fitment and sizing of the Gel-Excite's 11, I got 'order half size up' in all results, I was a little skeptical but I follow the suggestions and I'm glad I did because no way that size 11 would've fit me, 11.5 fit me perfectly as the Gel-Kayano 32 in size 11. I've just tried these one, so far I feel them comfortable, I walked for 5K steps and haven't had any discomfort with my flat feet and the issue I have with my left knee patellar tendon. I stood up for 30 minutes while I waited for my car at the carwash, no issues. Time will tell about durability, but I can say the looks and comfort are pretty good for such a budget shoe.
