Gunbuggy ARNs & Photos

[Carzee]

That's one of my models.

Congrats firey, its incredibly good!

The Tyabb one looks like JB's

It looks like 112-512 is going to be sent to Bandiana and go into storage because a gunbuggy is not a piece of sapper's kit.  The same as the M113-FSV and maybe even HMAPC-Flint to the AWM.

[Phoenix]

That is a pity.  I wonder what happens when bandiana have duplicate items?

Hi, Below is a list of Gunbuggy ARN's that Tommy has been working on, the ones in Bold (Black private/Green Museums) that we know exist today  - are there anymore out there that people know. It would be nice to have a definitive answer on how many still exist

Regards
Scott

Is 112-730 a 10th Light Horse Gunbuggy?

I remember when I was in Cadets in the early seventies we had a 10 LH officer attached to our unit who drove

a gunbuggy out to Bindoon for the cadets to have a look at. pity I didn't have a camera in those days.

Its amazing how small the pool of vehicles was in WA. B52 and my 2a's have consecutive chassis numbers and I have

photographed one of Tommy's LRPV in service in the eighties. But when you think of it, apart from SASR we have no regular

army units and all th Reserve units only hav a very small ARA cadre or did. Smaller these days I'm told. 10 LH have no M113's,

7 Fd Bty have no 105's only Mortars. I honestly don't know what else has been downsized but nothing would surprise me.

Wade,

The 106 Carrier at the Fremantle Museum saw service with 3 RAR and 5/7 RAR.  Until it arrived here after its demob, it had never been in WA.

It is interesting to see the downsizing of part time units here in WA - the magic trick of turning gunners into mortarmen, is creating some angst among those affected !

Hi Ross, yep museum vehicles in green,

any more out there???

[Carzee]

  thx Scott.
I can't check the numbers for a week - I have been advised to get vaccinated against gunbuggy disease ASAP.

Was chatting to the AAMME (SME) curator today and put the question about 112-512.  His response is that there is an assigned location for the buggy in the new (new) museum building* on the Holsworthy Base after the move from Steele Barracks Moorebank.  So 112-512 is not going anywhere.

See what happens when you listen to gossip from other volunteers!

* Those who know Steele Barracks will know that one of the current AAMME buildings is called the "New Museum".
