Armor on display.

A few shots from last week's event at the Dutch National Military Museum, where they opened their depots for the public, rolled out some planes not usually on display, and did a few shows with some of their vehicles in the tank arena. A couple of visitors from the Belgian War Heritage Institute as well; they brought a former East German T-72, an ISU-152M (Loudest diesel powered vehicle I ever heard!) and an AIFV-B, the Belgian version of the Dutch YPR765 which was based on the M113 chassis.

Some cracking pictures there! I don't know why but I've always liked the look of the AMX-13, a funky piece of armour that you'd know was French even if you didn't know what it actually was.

Neither did I Huub, until it drove past.

Apparently these were used on the Vlieland shooting range.
