Chasing a swiss LTL-H (aka Pz 39). Got it in Schaffhausen!
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.

Post subject: Chasing a swiss LTL-H (aka Pz 39). Got it in Schaffhausen!

Today I've manage to find the LTL-H that left Solothurm in 2006.
It's now in Museum im Zeughaus at Schaffhausen (very near the german border).

It's a nice museum, only drawback it's opened only 6 days a year Shocked

Only 3 tanks, but all in running order.
They have a good selection of swiss softskins, including some very cool artillery tractors, different Condor motorbikes and a wonderful Universal sidecar. Many swiss artillery too.

They also have a G-13 and a Pz 68/88, but they weren't visible today because there was a special event, celebrating swiss border guards. Since more space than usual was required to run demos with cars and dogs, both G-13 and a Pz 68/88 were left in storage Crying or Very sad

Anyway, while I really wanted to look at the G-13, my main target was the LTL-H. It's in great shape (it's a runner), with proper painting, but no markings. It's properly stored indoor, you can really walk around it, but not enough space to get a good "portrait". You can see some pics below:

Pierre-Olivier, I have bigger, higher resolution shots, please send me a PM if you would like one of them for the PDF.

This make the fifth know surviving LTL-H. Not too bad considering only 24 were build

Hope to be back there in September/October for the G-13.
