... and here's another one. She is based at the Armeemotorfahrzeugpark Burgdorf (Army Motor Park). They store quite some old trucks etc. Unfortunately, it's not open to the public

... I took this pic in 2004 at Convoy to Remember in Birmenstorf, Switzerland. This one was based in the French part of Switzerland, but I haven't seen her since.

... I just found better pics of the Blitz in Hanno's start thread.
They were taken on June 16, 2006, in Cham, Switzerland. Bloody hell, I don't know why I missed this show ![]() It's believed to be the last surviving Blitz in typical Swiss configuration. Source

... 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?
