The last two are in Australia. The 6X6 armoured car is an Australian Marmon-Herrington Armoured Command Vehicle, one of two pilot vehicles built.

Default Kookaburra and Cossack

Hi Matt,

Great photos thanks for posting.
Any idea which regiments Kookaburra and Cossack belong to?
I have T72908 in my WD database but nothing in the unit field. Any additional info would be a help.

Cheers
Kevin
