Esteemed Members of the List,
Does anyone have any info about contracts to supply the Royal Thai Army
with up-armoured (Shorlands??) Landys with turrets, a la Ferret?
On a jolly through the southern bush here in the province of Songkhla, I
passed an army camp with one such vehicle up on a display pedestal at
the main gate. On a pedestal it may be but taking pix of army camps is
a no-no in this part of the world, so the camera remained stowed. Fully
rigged with smoke launchers etc.
It could be a local cobble as we know that the RTA has Ferrets and the
turret looked a lot like a ferret turret but can't be sure.
Loads of army bases down here as we have a very long-running communist
insurgency going on but the guerillas seem to avoid the army and
concentrate on shooting coppers instead.
Best wishes to Fidel......
Gav.
