  • AFV Question

    Readers of Military Machines International will notice that in this months edition that Shaun Conners' Into the archive 'Seris features a timoney of the APC type ....he also reveals photos of two other AFVs one an APC of the 6x6 variety and one being a 4x4 of AFV variety.

    he then issues the challenge that all three have some thing in common but what is it and what makes are the vehicles.

    heres achance for all the armour buffs........I reckon the link is to do with Belgian manufacture . My opinion is purely based on the looks of the vehicle.

    Apologies for not adding piccies but my scanner is on the fritz!

            This is the same 4x4 vehicle discussed in the MVI magazine. Made and deployed in Tanzania.

            The 6x6 has very similar lines to the defunct Vickers Mk.11 LRPV.

              I haven't received my copy of MMI here in Spain yet, but it appears from what you say above they are all Timoney designs and feature Timoney's Independent Suspension System.

              The Vickers Mark 11 was based on the Valkyr (BDX Mk 2) which in turn was an update of the Irish Army Timoney Mk 4.

              The ARV was only sold to Tanzania.
