@@LukeBunyip I was thinking they could make the Full Size "Airfix Kit" diorama of the Quad & 25 Pounder, as a Display, or maybe it was just the first Kit I made ..

A 5 minute look around the 25 pounder and quad tractor would be great! Not fancy, but it's my grandad's machine from the North Africa campaign, 5th Field Regiment, 2NZEF. Thanks team.
I think a series on how indirect fire artillery figures out where to point the barrel would be great! Starting with the observer, to Fire Direction center, to laying the battery/piece. It’s a complicated system that most don’t know about, but without it no explosions on target.

I'll second that.
Thanks Jason, your armored vehicle knowledge is amazing. You asked for suggestions on other vehicles to feature. In the background is a truck that I believe was used to tow artillery in WW2, could do a feature on it, Cheers
Excellent. I had no knowledge of this vehicle until now. I guess it’s development was as a result of experience in Korea.
It could have been rebuilt for service with the National Guard, they typically would be a model behind - especially at that time period.
A massive peice of firepower !! Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that BEAUTY !!!!
Great to see one of our old M41's in your care. How about an article on the Bulldog's service history?
An in-depth look at the M7 Priest, perhaps with some comparisons to its Aus/Canadian counterparts would be great. As the most-used self-propelled artillery piece of the Second World War the M7 is an interesting AFV. I believe they had a very high survival rate due to the way they were deployed, so many survived WW2 only to be scrapped in huge numbers and ending up quite rare. It would be fantastic if you have plans to eventually restore your M7 to running condition.
That is a bulldog of a tank! Great stuff❤
Cheers. Another excellent video. It appears that these vehicles had a longer in-service life than the high speed artillery tractor that was also based on the M41.

It really is too bad. M8 HSTs are awesome, but quite rare
Hi AusArmour. Love your work 👍
Always very informative these little guides on the history of the Aus Armor collection. Be interesting to know what history is known about the damage to the left front corner, though if the IDF got their hands on it looks like some repair has taken place.
Its bloody massive mate!
Saw a lot of M109s and M110s when I was in the service, so seeing the M52 with that stubby little gun was kinda comical. Is anyone else fascinated by the facts and figures in this man's brain? I pride myself in stats on things, but when you start rattling off serial numbers and the dates they were produced, that's impressive.
Really good. What a beast of an SPG. Thank you.
I really appreciate when you do the vehicle profiles. It doesn’t matter which one you are doing, but I would love to see this as at least a once a week episode although I do like the World War II timeframe keep up the great work and thanks
Excellent video ✌️
I see that right next door there is an M114. A video on this would be appreciated. The best boss I ever had was a former Green Beret who commanded a company of these in Germany in the early 1970's. He remarked that the version he had mounted the 20mm cannon, and that it was a "piece of ****". However, his unit somehow always kept all of its' vehicles running..
Nicely done. If you would I'f be interested in hearing about the M114. I very nearly wound up training on those at FT Knox in 71, but since I was assigned to a tank company in the National Guard, the mistaken orders that sent me to that training company were revoked and I trained on the M48A2 later.
Ah, poor M52 is a bit cold :( Please give him a jacket! : P )
Nice quick video that contained a good amount of information.
Cool video. Thank you. More pls.
Love your videos. I look forward to the next restoration. Paul (Thailand)
Great commentary I love this stuff ,and the way it's explained
Most detailed breakdown on an obscure Cold War SP artillery piece!
Top o' the morning to ya. And a bully good show, old chap. I have noticed that the interiors of your vehicles are white where the armored vehicles I have used in the Army were institutional light green in color. What gives?
G’day mate :) absolutely love these videos :) fast, factual and to the point :) Much respect from uk 🇬🇧
You certainly know your shit my friend well done and well presented many thanks
The M114 would be good to see and you guys should buy more cold war vehicles like the M60 Starship and M2 Bradley from the AAF tank museum as it is shutting down.

they can't buy those from AAF as they don't own those. those are still government owned pieces
Always an outstanding video and presentation
Jason your knowledge is very enlightening you could talk about anything in the museum however if you have an open turret American Wild Cat I’d love to here about it.
Always very informative thank you.
Thanks very informative.😊
Thanks team
Very cool!
Awesome
A great video.Have a good one.
Dang. I never knew. Show us more. You're doing a grouse job. Keep it up. How about a video on each article in the collection.
Hi guys. Totally different request then usual. Walk around SA-2 GUDIELINE with ZIL 157. Don't forget about sweet details like small ladder on trailer. Best regards from Poland 🇵🇱 🇵🇱 🇵🇱
Jason you could just walk down that side of the shed and we caulk a different tank each week I would be watching that for sure 👍👍
Nice one! Would love to see one of the Soviet AT-T please.
Another tank video let’s go
How big is traverse on that turret? I mean how the steering is connected for the driver to the front of the tank if the turret would have more than just few degrees of traverse?
Definitely missing a few parts looks funny without its breach and appeared to not have a propulsion system either.
Do a videos on your as1 leopard or m113a1s
Is that a quad tractor in the back ground ? How about a vid on that and the 25lber..
How about the quad and 25 pounder.
Can you show the engines any drive train please really like the videos anyway .Leo from upstate ny
Over dose over tank videos this week nice one
Always wanted a Ferret Scout Car... got one to make me jealous ?
What’s tanks in the collection are road legal to drive Queensland?
It's pretty obvious why it became obsolete, huge structure with a relatively small gun for a start.
❤❤
Do you have a Studebaker Wiesel tracked vehicle.?
😎👍
Someone's nicked the breech block.
@War thunder i want this one
At 2 55, 11,000 metres?
No M2 50 cal on your vehicle? Why not?
M110
😛😛😛😛😛😛❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a tiny little gun! Hasn’t anybody told you size does matter. 😂😂😂
M52 howitzer range is 11 miles? That's 17.7028 km max range?
