The Yomper 225Y Rustler is similar to the Bergen but without the extended load bed and with the lift kit only optional. The final model in Yomper’s portfolio is the Bergan, which is geared more towards leisure than work.The Yompers is a good, very amusing, first-hand account of the practical difficulties the Commandos had to endure, and overcome, in their arduous campaign in the Falklands. Book of the month.
