A Christie 75mm convertible wheeled/tracked gun chassis that is here seen with a different gun (likely a 37mm) in a "demonstration" landing. A similar vehicle made an administrative landing at Culebra, Puerto Rico during exercises, but declined to cross open surf. The performance was unsat and not adopted.

 

And HERE is the Honda Super Hawk
he drove in "Roustabout."

 

Looks like this one started out as a 1920 Stearns-Knight L-4 Touring...





The white band on the radiator is a dead give away...

 

"marshall teague"

 

Yep, and it's inclusion in that film was all part of the Honda '63-'64 marketing blitz that included a quarter million dollars of airtime on the academy awards and the "meet the nicest people" campaign.

I guarantee you "the king" would have preferred to be on one of his more muscular rides, but money talks!

 

Here is todays Friday photo without a caption contest, you can either leave your caption here or at The Old Motor where will post our favorites as they come in. Have fun and a great weekend.

 

4TL8Ford, Is the creek in post #45244 named "Uppa Creek". That looks like it to me,because I don't see a paddle in the picture.

"Hey Darryl, you sure this is how those Poms play Soccer?"

I was just about to post a reply to this when it struck me, the Australian Army has some rather uncouth and derogatory terms for people in service.
Reserves are known as,
'Choccos', as in chocolate as they tend to melt under pressure.
Women are known, and this is Defense wide as, (If you are easily offended please stop reading)
'Front Bums',
Its so ingrained they refer to themselves the same!

Doc.

 

I'm not flying on any plane that the crews uniform is a swim suit!
