Weather Makes It Tricky For Forces Rally Crews

There was a traditional welcome to Dumfries for the Scottish rally - the latest round of the British and Armed Forces Rally Championships.

The Royal Engineers pairing of Maj Clive Allford and John Gage were quickest from the off, and they won the military event and gained maximum points in the championship.

Allford said: "We've had a fantastic two days... what's been especially good is the amount of work the marshals have had to do in atrocious weather and we're truly grateful to them for putting on the event."

The next event in the championship is at Goodwood later in the month.
