GoranWC51 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi, Do you have an unlimited amount of pictures? :-) It would be a great service to fellow MV nuts if you could download the pictures (as large as possible) on one of the picture hosting sites? I can't be the only one searching the Internet for WW2 pictures... Have a very Merry Christmas :-D and a Happy New Year :nut: As always, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 This pic is included in article, by John Blackman, (editor, CMV) this month, only captioned as 'a Normandy beach' :whistle:; anyways, some details re the vehicle,....not my knowledge, - copying Johns words, here. ;-) "M10s freash off an LCT grind up a Normandy beach. Note wading gear attached to the engine deck.Just visable behind the foreground M10, which is fitted with early-production wedge-shaped counterweights, is another M10 fitted with the latter 'duckbill' type." Heck,.......with all this promoting of CMV, I should get a free extention to my subscription. ;-) Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
