His mother, Winifred Ormond, died shortly after his birth and his father, Frank Spencer Chapman, was killed at the battle of the Somme.

While the suspension may feel a bit stiff on the bitumen, it comes into its own when you venture off the beaten track. They are just a good, solid vehicle and unless you get one which has been LAPES’d (Low Altitude Parachute Extration System) out of a Hercules or C17 a few too many times you won’t find many structural issues.
