That's an interesting variation on the armoured bulldozer that landed with the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division on Juno beach and one I haven't seen before. Do you have any info on where and who used it?
CHIMO! Derek.

Not the same but very similar to the Disston Tractor Tank. Disston was a safe company that built an armoured enclosure over Caterpillar bulldozers in 1933, 26 in total I believe. There is some controversy over their final disposition as most went to the USMC while "some" went to Afghanistan. I enclosed some in quotation marks as conventional wisdom holds that at least three went there while I have a picture of a Disston Tractor Tank with "only one" pencilled in the lower border. Who knows? Derek.

That is one of a small number of bulldozers that were armoured by Greek Cypriots and used against the Turkish Cypriots during the inter-communal troubles in the '60s. None of them won any prizes for original design

That's an interesting take on the Armoured Bulldozer concept, similar to the "All or Nothing" design of Dreadnoughts from 1906 on. Derek.

In the summer of '76 I took a crew of guys up to Yellowknife and installed a fuel tank,a prefabed shack to house the gas driven spark proof pump,concrete containment catch tank and elevated 2 thousand gallon av gas tank on the loading dock for our Airforce float planes and the RCMP float planes.. We prefabbed everything in Greiusbau and Nameao and flew it all up in Herks.. As a construction engineer stationed in Edmonton we looked after all the north ,up to Yellowknife and Inuvik..I think Montreal or Trenton looked after the Eastern Arctic.. Anyway I'll post this link,but don't know how to post the picture of the dock and float planes..Although you can't see the tank and shack ,you can see the fuel rail leading back to the rig which is just out of camera shot to the right...The little shack that is shown is unknown to me..It wasn't there in '76... It was all granite so it was either blast a trench or elevate the fuel rail.... Up until we installed the refueling station all refuelling was done by hand pump out of 45 gallon drums..Were they ever glad to see us.. http://floatplaneflyin.com/old/uphere.pdf ![]() ![]() ![]()
