On www.militaerfahrzeuge.ch you will find a lot of technical data of tanks, trucks etc. in Swiss Army use. Greetings Chris

... well, the Swiss Army never used F15A's, but evidentially there's one in Switzerland. It was imported some 10 - 15 years ago from Austria, but I've never seen it on a public display. Yesterday, there was a chance to see it, as it's only 3km from my place away.
She looks like a 44 or 45 model, think she's running as the battery was connected. Looks in very good shape. greetings Chris

... here's another rare period picture of a F60S in Swiss Army use. It's most likely the original pic of the one in posting #17.. Source
According to militaerfahrzeuge.ch the Swiss Army only used 71 Fords.

... I just had a closer look and spotted some Swiss "finish" in the pic from posting #17:
- Swiss style retractable indicators - the horn was moved between radiator and light - a masked headlamp was placed where the horn was

... here's another pic from the book "Solothurner Artillerie"
Text says: 10,5cm howitzer gun attached to a cross-country truck modell Ford Canada. PS: Is this a modified roof as it doesn't have a hatch?

... just found another pic of the F60S at the Swiss Army Collection in Burgdorf.
Will be there in a few days and take some more shots ![]() greetings Chris PS From this view, the wheels look like from an F30??
