Show me... Artillery Tractor!

It looks like an artillery ammunition tractor with the open body in case it takes direct fired and a round cooks off; a big noise, lots of smoke, some fire but no partial containment leading to massive destruction.

Aussie Sheila driving a mog. Don't mess with her ... you'll get a butt of a rifle to your face.

My brother was over in Iraq back in the late 80's and he said that the sand over there is like baby powder. Gets into everything.

Corporal Trish Grace, currently deployed to Iraq as part of Australia's Security Detachment in Baghdad, prepares to drive her armoured Unimog truck on a resupply mission.

Yeah but as the photos progress, the charm of unimog works it's magic and in the end "The Look" is gone. Not forgotten, more like no longer present in the room.

BEAUTY ! Good work, Mate. Consider them archived. I couldn't find them, I'll say that.

You don't suppose it could have anything to do with the run-off from the Rocky Mountain Flats, do you "

Ah, probably not....
Anyway : Thanks.

I think ACAD might well be correct_ it is a perforated Ammo carrier, lots of space versus structure to allow the pressure to flow....
Although the rear boxes look a bit off to me.


Still....it looks like a pigeon coupe vehicle from WWI, or some guy with a couple of strings of Sled Dogs...
