Don, Here's a picture for you.
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.

Don, Here's a picture for you. My friend Karl took these as a Navy diver in Vietnam. I'm including a link to his other pictures, no more armor, but pictures from another time and another war. www.kodakgallery.com/k...ng_1966-67 1967 Hoi An River Road USMC

AJ,

Great pic!

Tell your friend Karl I enjoyed his album, especially the pic of the German Neutral Nation Hospital Ship "Helgoland". I sailed on that ship a few years ago on the First LatinAmerican Congress on Autoimmunty Cruise among the Galapagos Islands. It has been refitted and reflagged as the "Galapagos Legend" (after having done ferry duty for some years as well) and is very nice. I had tried to get a tour of the engineering spaces, but was having no luck. Then, I was on the bridge speaking with the Captain and saw the pic of it as the "Helgoland" in Da Nang harbor and mentioned that I'd been based about 60 km. from there and suddenly he summoned the Chief Engineer and arranged everything. Wink

Two BIG diesels, connecting rods about 2.5 meters long, and an engine room as clean as a five-star restaurant! Very nice.

The photo's were great, thanks for sharing. Vietnam reminds me of my two tours in Korea, terrain wise. Doug, almost didn't recognize you clean shaven and without glasses!!! _________________ SFC Jeff Button "High Angle Hell"
