Fort Leonard Wood
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.

Hi,

It's been a few years since I was there, but I recall a goodly number of vehicles scattered around the post. I have pics of a bunch of FWP engineer equipment on nicely landscaped platforms, and some M4s and others around parade fields and such.

They also had a decent museum, with a dozen or so mostly engineering vehicles and equipment on display outside. I remember an AVLB with the bridge partially folded, and a truck/pontoon deal that doubled as a ferry and a bridge component. It's not a vast assortment of armor, but it's worth a visit.

Didn't the Chemical School bring their museum stuff with them from Ft. McClellan? If they did, there should be a couple of flame thrower Shermans(M42B1E9 and some sort of M4A1 POA) and a M67A1 on display to name a few. _________________ Chris "toadman" Hughes www.toadmanstankpictures.com www.cafepress.com/toad...ksandstuff

Thanks for the anwers! I will take my camera and make pictures of every tank and armoured vehicle I see. Also take my fishing rod with me as it is a great opportunity for black bass fishing. That is, when I survive the VX......... Thanks, regards, Lesley
