XM551 FIRING SHILLELAGH
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.

This is possibly Pilot #4 which would be the one that is/was at the Patton Museum at Fort Knox. _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

Mark, That's not one of Vic's shots, and it sure looks like it might be at Redstone Arsenal. Might want to check their archives and see if it's identified. D.

Thanks Doug. Vic thought it might be Aberdeen. The mountains remind me of the Organ Mountains at White Sands. Wish I could make out the number on it. _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

Doug~ I went to the Redtone web site and it appears to be ruined! All of the photos and videos are gone. Most of the links are "404 NOT FOUND" and the home page is so messed up it's useless. They should have left it alone. Was a great source for photos. _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"
