I watched (for the umpteenth time) 'Sea Bees' on the box .Yes , I am a sad old fart .
But , I don't know if any of you have ever spotted in the film that the Japanese 'tank' that gets bulldozed off a cliff has the running gear of an M2 Half Track , making it probably the only full track half track ever done .
Now this got me to thinking (had to lie down afterwards) , how the heck did they get the drive to work ?
In some shots , it is obviously running under its own steam .
Did they have an engine in the facsimile armoured body ?
Were the evil japanese crew pedalling like stink on a cunning bike adaption ?

Was it towed by an invisible cable ?
Were a lot of extras pushing it ?
Did John Wayne's hot air blow it along ?
