ARVN C-15TA pictures
Also see my C15TA page for pictures of C15TAs in use in Vietnam in the 1960s. Note that the hull side armour has been extended in an effort to improve crew protection. This feature was found on Malaysian C15TAs as well. Apparently other AFVs were sold by Malaysia to Vietnam, so perhaps the C15TAs and Lyxes were too.

another C15TA in Vietnam
Speaking of C15TA's in Vietnam, here's another pic from the Australian War Memorial Collection Databases - nice to see a date put to the use of C15TA's in Vietnam.

ARVN C-15TA pictures
These are courtesy of a polish chap by the name of Jerzy, or George in english. Included is a link to his online albums. He also has an amazing collection of Aussie M113 APC pictures in Vietnam and other conflicts. But this isn't post war forums so I'll shoosh.
Album. http://picasaweb.google.pl/zippo132/...at=directlink# Ryan |

Ryan, thanks for taking the time to post these C15TA photos. There are not a lot of photos around for this truck so you have just made my day.
Cheers, Barry

Vietnamese C15TA
I've been looking for sometime now to find a pic of one of the C15TA's that the French used in Indo-China. Here's a pic of one taken post 1968, as that was when the Advisor compound at Cao Lanh was named the "Crum" compound used by the 44th Special Tactical Zone ARVN soldiers. The French gave their C15TA's to the South Vietnamese military after losing the first Indo-China War. This must be one of the last of these armoured vehicles actually used in combat. Enjoy the pic!
CHIMO! Derek

C15ta
Interesting video showing a C15TA body as a war monument in Vietnam. Wonder if they would part with it? Some shots of the body are at the beginning of the video but the best views are around the 12:55 mark.

The last picture clearly shows how the side armour was heightened.

I suspect the Lynx turret is also ex Malaya. It also has a bracket for a spare wheel on the front as per the Malaya photo.

Hanno,
Nice image. Your comment much earlier on about how it was nice to see a date on the AWM image, and Ryan's AWM image at post 15: for official images in those days, by Defence Dept photographers (not later donated private images), the code 'CUN/66/ ...' indicates the photographer, in this case Bill Cuneen, and the year, 1966, so at least with most of these images, the year can be pinned down.
