Gunbuggys -big pics from vietnam collection
« on: March 15, 2013, 10:14:08 AM »
Dennis has put me onto a great collection from Stan Middleton RAAOC. Gunbuggys in country, convoys. Fantastic.

Might as well put them here for posterity. If you've seen them just look the other way, good ref for others down the track..

big pics!

another, T. Williams 2AOD, 67, 112-528

great pic of the panel and paint condition in country - just shows, as we well know, that REMLR members have definitely restored the vehicles to "as new".

That one above is so good.  :)

The sign up is referring to the Percy Pig means 7RAR I'd say. SLRs and packs too.

It even has the DD chevron engraved on the tyre wall of the rear tyre.

-Is that a SLR? Something bigger?

Ha... SPR was a good one though.

I'm wondering if those pics above are big enough to print a proper picture at HarveyNorman or Officeworks... they are big pics. In the old days big pic files would've killed the internet - we used to put bigger pics on the CDROMs and post them. Nowadays Youtube pumps out 90minute video files..
