Ga,day from down under in Australia. I am an x soldier with 21 years full time experience within Armoured Corp in Australia.
I know work part time at the RAAC tank museum at Puckapunyal, where I am restoring a Vickers Mark 2





This has been a 3 year part time progect that is nearly completed.
My other interests are the M816 Wrecker and a Yeramba.

Ga,day Mate! Welcome. Thanks for the pics. Very interesting project.

Welcome Paul.
Nice Vickers. And after saying "A what...???" I did a Google search and now know that a Yeramba is a "25 pounder field howitzer mounted in an M3A5 tank hull". Very nice, we'd like to see pictures as your work progresses.
Cheers.

Always good to have the Aussies here!!

While at the multi-national logistics course many moons ago we were briefed by an Australian officer. One of his first statements was something to the effect of Since the Boxer Rebellion Australia has been alongside the United States in every conflict and it is highly unlikely this will ever change.

Concerning the Vickers. Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland has one but not sure of the specific mark type. I'll dig through my photos and try to post them.

Thanks for coming on the board.
