M38A1 in Aust. army

[Mike Cecil]

Richard,

No probs: you'll even see some of my article text about the trials reproduced from the DMO website there as well.

The Army kept the M38A1, using them for various specials, such as the air-drop test shown in the image Mike K posted the link to. I think I have an image somewhere of it actually being extracted from the C130 hercules. They also test-dropped an L5 105mm Pack Howitzer at the same time.

The RAAF acquired a number of jeeps in the late 50s and early 60s in various configurations: CJ3B, CJ5.
