Default Old Armour in service

Hi everyone

Sometime ago I obtained an old photo album full of tracked armour and thought I would share some of the photos with you.

Hope you enjoy.
Matt

The last two are in Australia. The 6X6 armoured car is an Australian Marmon-Herrington Armoured Command Vehicle, one of two pilot vehicles built.
