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.

Doug, it was I! I was looking for pics of a halftrack with a turret. I got them, here's the link: Venezuelan Armor Thread

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.

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.
