Thanks for sharing your memories Rikard, including the spaghetti one

I know for sure the Alpini (Italian mountain troops) have an high opinion of those Hägglunds vehicles.

You're welcome! I must add two things, first the engine access hatch was inside the front compartment so a food explosion is a very nasty and messy affair Smile

Second, I unfortunately already had my fly open ... gahhhhh.

I am done with the Hagglunds's articulated vehicle. Here is one of the most interesting pieces in the collection:

It reminds me of the Canadair Dynatrac. Is there any relationship between the designs or components, besides the general concept?

I don't know. I wasn't even aware of the Canadair Dynatrac before reading your post.

In recent years a similar concept has been implemented in Singapore with the Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier:

Among other things, this vehicles was adopted by the British Army, even if they used Swedish vehicles in the past (including a few that took part to the Falklands War in 1982).

We had a thread on these types of carriers here back in '06. I had a lot of pics from my sales brochure on Dynatrac posted, but only for a while as they were huge and I took them down after a couple of weeks. Also had a good link to other tracked carriers posted.

The light isn't bad inside the building, it only has a somewhat yellowish cast in certain areas. Yet I fund myself using up to ISO 3200 in a few cases, not many cameras handle that nicely.

I think Erik Gustavsson's pictures are pretty good and he posted a pretty comprehensive set, other than those, I haven't seen quality pictures from Arsenalen.

Ah, the old trustworthy "Plastic Can". Many a mile spent in it, our driver installed the mother of all car stereos in it (highly irregular) and there was a trick in heating your canned rations via an engine service panel ... which at least once resulted in a Spaghetti Bolognese explosion (you must never forget to prick a small vent in the can). Amazing oversnow capabilities, I once during the middle of Swedish winter jumped out for a quick relief behind a a tree only to find myself stuck to the waist in snow. Ah the memories Smile

the manufacturer is Chrysler (the only manufacturer of M4A4 tanks). I don't know anything more yet, but will try to get more information. Mr Karlsson already know the serial and manufacturer, as he sent me a photo of the manufacturer's plate.
