PR movie early 1960's

[Mike Cecil]

Great pieces of film. The AWM has quite a stack of these films, including trials and test films, aircraft recognition films, and so on. Seems they are slowly getting them onto digital format, which is excellent for all us 'mv nuts'.

Interesting that the opening frames of the 1950s film showed artwork of an M26 Pershing (never operated by Australia) , and the 1970s film that talked so much about the new 1 ton truck on trial was mostly showing 2 1/2 (4x4) and 5 ton (6x6) International trucks on trial - there was little of the actual 1 ton prototypes, just the short section in the sand pit connected to the strain meter.

Some really nice kit shown - including a White M3A1 AOP. Nice finds, Rick and Mike, thanks.
