    VietnamⅡ

    Damian mate, I did some serious reading about the Oliphant since you posted this and like always enjoy reading what various countries have done with the Mighty Centurion. It would seem, like in the Golan Heights, that the South African Centurions (Oliphants) creamed the Angolian...

    Just finished re-reading both Volumes of Aussie Armour In Vietnam. 500 pages each Volume. The so-called experts said that the Mighty Centurion would not succeed in NAM. {sm4} Ask the Infantry who had many lives saved by Canister rounds clearing the Jungle and Bunker busting track turns.

    KING & COUNTRY Dispatches -- March 2021

    Just returned from a weeks R&R on Norfolk Island, an old British Penal Colony, to find myself in a quandary like young Zach on how many of this new IDF Centurion to purchase. I think a Troop of three might do the job. Cheers Howard

    Prisoners & Escort

    Andy mate, An outstanding set of the three new figures which not only can be used in the new GS Land Rover but anywhere on any Dio. The GS Land Rover will be great addition to this already fantastic series. The red Tac Sign on the Land Rover with the number 55 is an indication...

    Yes they probably know where they are, in all likelihood they put them there !

    Steve mate, Nice one cobber. Some data: From July 1969 to May 1970, 39 per cent of all Australian Task Forces casualties were due to mines and 55 per cent of all mines discovered were M16 mines. Most of these mines were removed from the Australian laid "Barrier Minefield" which...

    Back At The Depot

    Andy mate, Outstanding cobber. The Flag and Pole with the Oil Drums and sand bags brought a tear to the eye. I had already ordered three MP Land Rovers from my Dealer but seeing them altogether like that has started me to wonder about more.^&grin My Dio plans called for two...
