I have no definite proof but I think most if not all Stadswacht overvalwagens were reallocated to regular units before the Japanese assault for lack of other afv's (such as the Medan vehicles). The Java airport vehicles were Braat AA vehicles btw.
BTW I mean both Samarinda and SamII had overvalwagens. I am not sure if Makassar by the time of fighting still had them (Nortier does not mention them)

Dear Nuyt,

How the hell did they bring OV:s to Sam II? In the middle of the jungle?

Makssar could be wrong. My notes: 4 OV:s on Celebes.

(Talking of Makassar my wife´s uncle Captain KNIL Andi Abdul Azis made rebellion against Soekarno in Makassar 1950 - failed and served 16 yrs inprisonment).

Rain: I have already experienced on my way from the pub.

But tomorrow: sunshine!
