Hello to all MV enthusiast. This month we will introduce our
1975 build aircraft tug. Its a Unimog 406.145 with crewcap and the Mercedes
OM352 direct injected diesel engine. 6speed foreward and 2 reverse gears
with a torque converter for soft tugging.


More pics will follow

The crew-cab feature is slick.

The crew-cab feature is slick.

Of course it is. Its a really family friendly military vehicle. If you like to get all staff with you.
We like it and go for christmas tree cutting or
events in the area.

This unique tug we get in dec. 2011 from a father and son who try to get a "Flugzeugschlepper" from VEBEG (its like GL).
They bit to one off them few times but.............. never get one. So some days they were careless and bid to 2 off them at the same time.
And.... they get them both. Dont know exacly, but thru the www. we get in contact and take one.
About 35 years this unimog pull for the airforce.
Purchase 2011

We do some modifications to the very heavy extra weights (each 1.3 tons) over the rear axel.
They are good for traction pulling heavy weight, but not for a standing start after redlight

Last saturday we go for tugging. Try to get one plane for campaign.

The tugs are certainly strange but useful bits of kit.

Entries look a bit sparse..So, As there is not another in the U.K. (And just maybe..not another (just as good and as capable of performing..WITH all the original kit Anywhere in the 'world!)), here is My M45 530C. Making a bid (Plea?) for a 'Prize'

Those are BOTH nice rigs, and in spite of your good intentions you might well be in violation.

The time for nominations is passed.

It's a call for the authorities.

Not so sure that translated real well.

Is there maybe a different way to say that?

Dont know what went wrong. For one thing we are the first in the campain thread for another thing it not easy to get your tug in front of a jet airplane.
And its NATO barbwire.

The first step is always the hardest?
The way is the goal? River/Donau Kloster Weltenburg

My M756A2 is such a useful truck, there are few days it doesn't lift or tow something. It has been a project that my sons Evil Dr. Porkchop and Black Ops completed last summer with the help of many friends: Rick Larsen for the paint mask stars and registration numbers, Dennis Amburso for getting it running and shipped from North Carolina, Keith Boda for supplying pipeline specific parts for copying, jatonka for seat covers and shift boots, Kenny Kublo windshields and special thanks to the late George Mainieri former owner of the truck for offering it to me and for being such a good friend to me and mentor to my sons.
