- Doug_KibbeyWho they kiddin'? I bet that was recovered from Vietnam in '54, then hastily painted over with that Free French thingie (and to hide the pink) and weathered to keep the secret and all us guessin', those conniving cheese eaters. We oughta' task P-O to get to the bottom of this, tout de suite.

Nawww,
it was never ever pink- that should be the one that was sitting on a square in Gay Paree for decades, ever since the war... But maybe one of the others or even the one shown in Beltring? Must've been the sneaky Viet Minh who blew up the running gear.

Another AMX-10P (probably a more recently used demonstrator)
- Neil_Baumgardner
Is this another VP 90?
- Jens_O_MehnerNeil,
make that "BTR-50 behind VAB" an OT-62, since it has two bow cupolas, the BTR-50 only has one.
Cheers,
Jens O.
- the_shadockThe BTR-50 PU has also two bow cupolas.. and it seems to be more likely a BTR-50 PU for me..

Could this help??
P-O
- Jens_O_MehnerYep,
judging by the raised roof it's a BTR-50PU at Saumur as well as Bucharest, thanks for the rear view, Senor Kibbey, I always wanted a photo of those boxes.
Not all OT-62 had side hatches, those were an addition sometime in the production run, IIRC- need to check with my Czech contacts.
