9 Nov 1985 the Squadron had M-1's. I believe Charlie was first to take them to Camp Gates. They did a Troop show of force at PS Camp 7? The Czech's really liked our new toy's. They took pictures, sent some L-39's. They road marched back to the Rock. 1 tank threw track right across the whole road (of course it was dark & 2 way traffic) They broke the other track & dragged it back home on it's road wheel's with the M-88 "Heavy Metal" that was the night I met my troop.

Thanks Dave for Info. a few years ago I would have jump on it, but unfortunately there no more room left to add more items to my military collection, see (attached photos) and at this stage of my life I'm concerned that my poor wife will be left trying to deal with it all, it would be a nice item for the Reed Museum.- Take care Dave and keep your head down and your powder dry.- George
