I photographed the Vienna M26 last summer. It was still possible to get to him then. At present, it is behind the fence and it is not even properly visible ... Sad

Diskuse

I have come across the French name M 25 Pacific. Is this a mistake or did they really call it that?

Pacific is the abbreviated name of the manufacturer Pacific Car & Foundry. I don't know what the M-25 designation is but I've come across it too (I think in connection with the unarmored version of the M-26M1 but I'm not sure)

Has a "nightmare" Dragon-Wagon. in the british markingu materializing...
In the attached images is a vehicle belonging to a unit, the collecting technique of the adversary for the tests in the institution FVPE (see above) - spring 1945, Belgium, loaded Hetzer and (on the next frame then) also the vehicle to "balloons", the test just after the war in Britain....

What's with the label? It is the M25 Dragon Wagon (eg http://www.dse.nl/~vrzaob/wc52/pacific.html) or the M26 Dragon Wagon (http://www.cybermodeler.com/armor/dw/dw.shtml ), or is both correct (www.2iemeguerre.com)?


My poor knowledge of French allowed me to understand that the M25 designation was the M25 kit designation and the M15 semi-trailer. # 382; that someone confirms this?



The M26A1 is an unarmored version of the & # 357; aha & # 269; a.
