Yes, the M113's. It took ages for me to get used them being M113's instead of the 432's that I was used to in the UK. Are there any vestiges of the 113's left in the order of battle Kevin? There are slight remains/traces of the ols 432's here still. And many as hard targets on the field fiiring ranges
Interesting photo BAR. Same as us. Our upgraded versions are called something else as I last remember seeing them. But their old XX EA XX or later XX FD XX registration numbers gives away their 60's heritage
Ours would have been 65-35305 for instance, same sort of ident. Year of procurement and then service fleet number. Lots of the old guys remembered when they had arrived. When I started they were only eight or so years old.
Peter we have this APC at Collie 100 kliks from me along with a Leopard 1 at their RSL hall (The tank I think was filled with concrete as per army requirement) not sure if there is an APC at the museum in Bunbury, just recently they have put a roof over the tank in Collie.
As a foot note on their Leopard 1 some inbred brain dead moron as there are plenty up there at that mining town in Collie shattered the drivers left hand vision block so now there is no way to replace it with the inside full of concrete.
I know the museum in Bunbury got a Leopard 1 at the same time Collie did.
The tank I think was filled with concrete as per army requirement
What?????? Is it just "gate guardians", tanks newer than a certain age or all tanks in private ownership that have to be filled with concrete , in Australia?
Gate Guards, the one at the museum on Moore road in Dardanup is all welded shut no public access shame really I'd love to crawl inside one but at 193 cm probably a bit tall anyway public liability and all that guff.
If you expand this pic you can see the white impact area and the cracks in the left vision block. (Hold ctrl button and use mouse wheel scroll forward, use it to get the size back to normal scroll backwards.)
