aye Rob thanks for that...when my son was at Batus in the 1990's with his regiment he saw Daf YA-126 trucks there being used as OPPFOR vehicles so I suppose anything is possible...I had a couple of these a few years ago and a leading member of Keep them Rolling told me that they had also been used as OPPFOR vehicles up at the East german Border on Nato exercises...best regards malcolm
