Trooper 3/9 RAAC Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hi, Some reading why we are still isolated. I thought I'd put this link up for interest showing the unique Australian Army Land Rover Series 2 with a 106 mm M40A2 Recoilless Rifle. https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/REL/19356/ We had a few of these in our South Australian Mounted Rifles Squadrons during the early 70's along with Saladins, Centurians, M113 Armoured Personnel Carriers, Ferrets & Studebaker Trucks in various types. The 106's also served in Vietnam. Hope you find it of interest. Pierre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Hi Pierre, We run the annual Corowa GPA Swim-In & Military Vehicle Gathering at Corowa, NSW and usually have some of these 'Gun Buggys" turn up, here is a photo of one, original army number 112-372. Also as Land Rovers were the theme for the 2018 event, here is a picture of the brass plaque that was made for the participants. This event is the largest gathering of ex-military vehicles in Australia and takes place each March. best regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
