That's right, theirs was a little 4 Cylinder diesel I think. Ours is gas. Ours had some issues but generally it was used until we used them up. I've had worse. I remember as the battalion transport I received transport truck flatbeds full of the new trailers. I see them now with civilians since they've been surplussed off as out of date. What does that say about me? Good luck with your trailer.

Jim
Our Iltis are gas engine too.
Here we have problems to search and import spare parts.

I see, too bad...we have quite a few here on the market.

Luis, is that long building behind the Huey helicopter, your first picture with your jeep, some sort of military/aviation museum, please? Thanks

Hi flying! No museum in this base camp. Only a depot. The only one real aviation museum we have is the Museo Nacional de Aeronautica belong to Fuerza Aerea Argentina.

Thanks Luis, it's good to see that at least 1 Avro Lincoln survives in Argentina and I seem to recall that there may have been a 2nd example at one stage. I believe that I am correct in stating that one of the turrets which is currently fitted to the Battle of Britain Flight's Avro Lancaster was sourced/found in Argentina in the late 1970s.

We have 2 Avro Lincoln

Theres a lot of the BBMF Lanc parts from a Lincoln, the tail wheel tyres are from an Airbus of all things!

While I was in NZ, I was told that the front guns in the Sunderlands they had at the time were 20mm cannons from Lincoln bombers, brought from Argentina in the 50's. Made the Sunderlands into ship-busters.

I believe that some models of the Shackleton had 20mm cannon in the nose as well.

That was the MR3 F10, tricycle undercarriage and tip tanks, a very attractive but also a quite dangerous aircraft I believe, with rather vicious stall characteristics, due the the considerable increase in all up weight.

An old neighbour of mine flew MR2's and 3's, he said the MR2 had very good flight characteristics, but every crews worst nightmare was hitting a big still air pocket in an MR3, if one of the wings stalled, it was all over, no chance of recovery... He hated them.
