The only story a can remember was one about a very large AC with a small machine gun ,that they where not allowed to use because it atrackted air raids.He told they did some hide and seek under the big trees to escape bombs droped by japanees plains.Mayby M.H AC?In his drivers license he had the rank of Eur. Brig.
Tom,

A very large AC with a small machine gun? Sounds like an Alvis-Straussler Armoured Car. See http://fletchers.esmartdesign.com/du...traussler.html for their operational history with the KNIL.

Thanks,
Hanno
