#4: Re: Hey Dontos, Ontos photos Author: JeffStringer, Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 1:30 am ---- "HYDRA TANK" WTH??
I get a kick out of these ebayers selling photos with the wrong title. I saw one, it read Blown Up Tiger Tank ....
... and it was a Panther!!
#5: Re: Hey Dontos, Ontos photos Author: Dontos, Location: Vine Grove, KYPosted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 6:07 am ---- I was almost tempted to question where such a title came from, but was affraid I might get references to 'Sparkie' but then it isn't refered as a 'tankette' so Sparkie isn't the source.
Oldly enough it is perhaps a civilian press photo, that was developed by a lab with no associated notes from photographer and with no clue, the lab guy or editor made some stuff up, that MAY HAVE IN FACT sounded pretty good. ( ...to the ignorant public....)
"hmmmm, lets see, its a tank in the water ,.....I KNOW, ITS A 'HYDRA-TANK!!!"
NEAT STUFF, new to me, so a big THANK YOU, for the heads up,....
Don

Yup, like the HYDRA 2.75" Rocket.
Dontos, Maybe the Ontos was once named the "Hydra Gavin 2".

OOH that is so wrong!
#9: Re: Hey Dontos, Ontos photos Author: Dontos, Location: Vine Grove, KYPosted: Sun Mar 02, 2008 3:20 am ---- HEY NOW!!!
Hydra and Gavin were never, are not now, and / or WILL NEVER BE names given to the Ontos. With that said, and leaving no room for doubt,.....

Mongoose? I like that one, I think it would have made a great name for what became the M50.
