Good to see you Luis, nice jeep too. I see an Iltis way down the line too, not my favorite but we sure put some miles on them.

Hi Jim, thank you! This year a want finish the restoration of a Early M100 Trailer to pull with the M606.

Yes, this is a German VW Iltis. You have in Canada Iltis made by Bombardier

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 I see them now with civilians since they've been surplussed off as out of date.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.

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

[Luis Bren]

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.
