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.

That photo was taken in my home town of Brisbane in 1943 at the RNA showgrounds. I can't imagine what it was like inside when it landed though .....

upon landing,.....blood & bruises, and several broken or missing teeth After a loud gasping exhale when the air is knocked out of the crew. Usually a few brusied or broken ribs are also the result. "Been there, Recovered from That..." Don

Hell yeah. No regrets !! Although I never got to run over a car. One of those unrealized goals of my 21 years as a tanker. Don

Closest I got was a car/wreck at NTC with my VISMOD T72. Not the same though. I ran over a half-track in Hohenfels too. Don, have you ever played "Tanker Baseball" ???? _________________ Joe_D
