CharlieH Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Morning All, Thought some you may find some of these images of interest, quite impressive up close. Just come back from a couple of weeks in France which included Bastille Day in Paris. Although I missed the actually parade as they closed the Metro station I did find a nice spot to see the mobile units come past. This included both regular as well as Foreign Legion as you'll see. My personal favorite is the wheeled Tank which seems to be crewed by the catering staff! Also the huge APC 'Saint Louis'...it was a beast. Enjoy And nice to see a Land Rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzaw Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 "My personal favorite is the wheeled Tank which seems to be crewed by the catering staff!" Ahh the armoured hi speed pizza delivery system much needed on today's modern battlefields, alongside the containerised Burger King and Pizza Hut outlets as used in the Afghan logistical effort. Driver and crew need not only an LGV and gunnery licence but also a food handlers certificate lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan76 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just Googled the 'mission vigipirate' on the front of the Land Rover - seems to be some kind of anti-terrorism operation, the link to the French Ministry of Defence shows a video with a Land Rover in used at the Eurotunnel terminal being used by an Engineer Regiment: http://www.defense.gouv.fr/terre/diaporamas-sonores/mission-vigipirate-eurotunnel-de-calais/%28language%29/fre-FR#SearchText=mission%20vigipirate#xtcr=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
