  1. Cool!!! The Spit nearly took his head off!! Jessie, no pics to be seen.. Where I live is lowflying training area for our Aapache helicopters, film and photo by yours truly. The film is very short, the battery died... http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a264/T214/th_Olaf041.jpg[/img] The photo was taken a few months ago, behind the embankment is the river Maas, they are allowed to fly at 15 meters (about 45 feet).

  11. Guess the postwar armies where happy with them because they were cheap and better than nothing. Doesn't give much protection but lots of mobility! After the war fully tracked vehicles got more mobile and took over the halftracks roles. The Chech armie used them because they had chassis left from WW2 production which was made in their country anyway. Again cheap and mobile. Don't forget halftracks weren't designed to withstand heavier calibre MG's, just mobility to get Infantry as fast transported as tanks with protection from small arms fire. The Armies who used them post war like Holland till the 60-70's probably did that out of economics not for battleworthyness. A mistake was to think of a Halftrack as a sort of light tank - it wasn't. They found that out when used as tankdestroyers in WW2. A Artillery burst would kill them - no armoured roof! The Chech did put in a roof after the war...
