Wanted to add a footnote to the history of these awesome weapons in that they were also used in combat by American troops after WWII during the Korean War. Being that the enemy had essentially no aircraft, these were primarily used to great effect against the mass human-wave attacks launched by the Chinese and N. Koreans earning it the moniker “The Meat-Chopper”. Years later, my father vividly recalled seeing these used in the brutal fighting up at the Chosin Reservoir and was still thankful for the protection they provided in that nasty, icy hell.
Great restoration as always! This AA half track has always been one of my favorite WW II vehicles. Even created a diorama of a kit many years ago. Hopefully will get to England to see your collection and have a go at your driving class. Thanks!
If anyone wants to see what the guns look like firing the bad guys in Waterworld have a truck mounted version on a float and they try to shoot up Kevin Costener with it I know bad movie
