The "new look" carrier platoon
 
don't be surprised, if you see platoons of these loaded down with canadian troops in the future. The U.S. special forces are already using them.

Now that they're putting our Leopards out to pasture, I guess these will be the crux of the new 'Canadian Armoured Corps'... I'm so ashamed... :o

Geoff,
Would this be a reverse of the old saying "Swords to Ploughshares", seeing as though they were designed as agricultural equipment.

Hey Snowtractor

Don't you just love the movie Kelly's Heroes. Oddball is my role model.

And Sunray, no smart ass remarks out of you thanks.

The new definition of armour in the Cdn forces will be three guys in body armour, helmets and a Carl G riding one of these.

Only if Bovvy/ABRO don't blow up the third Maybach HL 230 P30. (kindly donated by their Sd.Kfz.186). P'raps you can just draw them from stores like a L60. . . . . . . . .
