Maturin, Venezuela M8 armored car (somebody asked about...)
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.

I've forgotten who it was but some time ago, somebody was asking about pictures of an M8 Armored Car with a Greyhound(?) turret on it. My contact there has been good enough to send a couple of pictures taken very recently.

Rgr. I'll forward that old pic to my contact and see if he recognizes. Do you know if it's still there? We'll try to get a pic.

In the meanwhile, here's a link with some interesting tidbits on VEN. current military capabilities with some interesting comments on armored vehicles. See the subheading "Army", and more particularly, "FAN's Poor Operationsl Readiness".

Doug, last time I saw it was summer of 98. I wish I had a color pic of it because it is pretty colorful.

[quote="Tanklord"] - Doug_Kibbey Doug, can you repost these pics. I lost the file that contained them. I'll keep looking, but I've got a bad feeling that those pics were only on my computer at work. I know I was communicating with that guy from work and may not have transferred it home. Might anyone else have saved them? D.
