About 14 years back, when I was still in the military, C battery still was using the BV206 to tow the GIAT. The BQ had ordered an A-frame, and they had been listed in the supply cat as KM-local purchase. In the end the battery sent an existing BV206 a frame downtown to a welding shop. and they made up a pretty good copy. It was expensive as hell mind you. I remember thinking, on seeing it, that we could have shortened an M-series a frame for a fraction of the cost.
