Interesting Finds...
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

- piney M-56 Scorpion ? Yup... Some of the hull configuration on the Ontos came from the M-56 Scorpion. The early prototype had the same roadwheels. Don _________________ "Gonna hold my breath until Armor returns home..."

Don I I can ever get my ZIP drive to work again I'll burn a CD (which also went TU yesterday ...) of all my archival Ontos photos from "you know where" and send you a copy. My computer is getting torn down to parade rest tomorow for major overhaul/cleaning.... _________________ Rob Another Ontos Guy

Oh...and before anybody asks...nothing is "available".... and anybody (at CMH, NHC or "here") who "knows" won't "know" anything about what is or isn't in that photo _________________ Rob Another Ontos Guy

Well officially..."no it's not, it's a target" un-officially <wink, wink> it's an M-422A1 Mitey Mite. But it doesn't really exist even though it really does <he says while peering out the window looking for the black Suburbans > _________________ Rob Another Ontos Guy
