Tony B Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I think the best ever discription of Saracen's in service has to be Tom Sharpe's Riotus Assembly. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmac Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Just popped up on BBC24 in Honduran Coup footage, two Saladins on the streets. 1st time I've seen one outside of the Tank Museum! Some one beat me to it, should read the other threads before I post....sorry. Thanks for moving it. Edited June 28, 2009 by ajmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Here's a couple of photos... looks like the Saladin in the first photo has a dodgy handbrake... block of wood under rear wheel...

Roland Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) You realised that these SALADIN are ex German Border Guard Vehicles? No coaxial guns, different smoke discargers, MG1 (MG42) turret machine gun! They´re FV601D.
