What's your favourite military vehicle?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Late neo-Assyrian four-crew chariot.

But that's not Aztec - sorry forgot - no wheels.

I have read that, rather strangely, the Aztecs did have wheels, but only ever used them on children's toys. A bigger issue was too many hills and no big draft animals...

But the Persian Scythed Chariot... hmm...

I should probably add this to the Lynx and SG-122

'Bout time we had something other than a bloody boring tank!

This any better?


"A rare surviving example of a world war ii japanese military bicycle with original wartime rubber"


"To the victor go the spoils: Sgt. Harry Huff, of Charleston West Virginia" [165th Infantry]

Or this?

.... well ... OK .... so it flies ...... but it says it's a car!

Welbike?


Kettenkrad?


Military Unicycle?

This is much more like it. Excellent stuff chaps. Incidentally that was not a sentence as it did not contain a verb. However, as this is not an English lesson, and I do, in fact, know what constitutes a sentence, I don't care that it doesn't contain a verb. It is how I wished to express myself at that particular point. Now, should the Grammar Gestapo appear I am quite ready to tell them to flog of; the Spelling Gauleiter got here first.

Welbike?

Good grief......In my mid/late teens, I can remember spending a rather fruitless afternoon  with 'the gang', trying to get one of those to run again.
(If it wasn't one of those, it was something almost identical......Was it something used by the Parachute Regiment ?)

Based exclusively on the old Airfix soft-plastic model which graced many a bath-time amphibious exercise, the DUKW/Duck

Yup. Could be dropped in a parachute container.

They did have one at the Assault Glider Museum new Shrewsbury. Along with a Horsa Glider.

Was shown around by a chap called Richard Head.

Mine fell apart. 

(the warm water 'melted' the glue!)

I offer that Friend ODP was referring to this offering. No glue involved.

[Westmarcher]

Oh yeah! I remember these! My pal used to have that one (or something similar). Did they do Pershing Tanks as well?
