Hi Jan - the above are no different to people who collect Jaguars, Holdens or whatever marque you care to nominate. All have their niche in our contemperory history. Other than a handful of OTT re-inactors, I have yet to come across a military vehicle collector who thinks he is Rambo because he has a military vehicle. A lot of our type of collector do so in memory of relatives that served in the various wars and campaigns.
