Anniston Depot, Al
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.

If you mean Colombia, there is an army museum in Bogata, however, it's pretty thin on armor*. The same can be said for the armed forces there generally, favoring wheeled AFV's and (in the past) light tanks like the Stuart (a few of which are sprinkled around at military bases, which are understandably very security conscious). Panama and Colombia have little suitable terrain or infrastructure to support heavy armor. They seem to have invested in anti-armor as a contingency measure.

*There is apparently a display there on Colombian participation in the Korean War, which came as news to me.

There's lots of good stuff on display at Anniston but unless it's changed photograpy is prohibited. _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"
