The Australian army purchased an kit from the US army to train staff in airdrop procedures on the C130. When the kit tuned it include a M38 jeep which if I recall correctly was in US army colours and had a USA registration.

The jeep was air dropped on countless times until on the last drop a malfunction took place and the jeep was destroyed.

I am asking loadmaster friends if they have any photos of it which is highly likely.

We also had a M38 at Vung Tau which the Yanks did not back but we were not allowed to bring home. It too was in US army colours etc and never was on charge with the RAAF.

Will revert if more comes to light

regards

Col
