Lingle in blue- do we already have this one?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Gents, apologies if it's already been featured here, I just received some photos of an ex-EOD USAF M114 "monumenting" at Beale AFB. It would appear the Air Force did some cutting and filing to the poor thing... Cheers, Jens O.

Hey - you can see the USAF Registration number 63L776 - Meaning it was a Fiscal 1963 acquisition _________________ Bob Smart (bsmart@xecu.net)

Neil, all I know at this time is that it's sitting outside the EOD building, I'll see if I can find out more. Cheers, Jens O.

This is like the M114 that WGTI restored. The ones I saw had radiation warning signs on them so I think they were used as SAM threat simulators. _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

That is one of the early M114s. The rigid front fenders gives it away. I am curious of the add on vents on the side though. Never seen that before. _________________ knowledge will find you
