French GAM's (Off Topic)
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.

Weed:

Be still, my heart! A boyhood dream come true, all right. I think I even see 'flash' on one of the toy soldiers.

Where were these pictures taken, and which genius came up with the idea for this parade entry?

I am so old I remember when the first 'unbreakable' polyethylene toy soldiers came out. What a drag -- not at all like the wonderful Britains' lead soldiers I used to get for being good at the Dentist's. I remember hating their ugly, flexible, shiny, unpainted surfaces, at first, but then discovered that when lit with a forbidden Vesta match they made really eerie whooshing sounds and flaming effects when allowed to drip over Dinky Toys cars and lorries!

They still do -- check it out...
