    Firefighting vehicle using 2 Jet Turbines mounted on an old T34(?) :

    That is funny! In the area where I live (Szeged, Hungary and it's vicinity), the little brothers of this vehicle are on readiness. It's the turbine of a MiG-17 mounted on a ZiL-131 chassis. They are needed because in the vicinity of Szeged (in Algyő, to be precise) there is the gas-mining plant, where land-gas is being "mined". If and when a well goes off they call the Firfighters of Szeged.

    Some nice footage of the Rolligon concept in action :
    "ROLLIGON" ROLLS TO IT! - British Pathe
    LIGHT FOOTED LORRY - British Pathe
    Interesting that the first is from '53, and the second '57 - I wonder if they're still working on it...

    And not so much Strange vehicles, as vehicles being moved in a strange way:
    INNOVATIONS FOR THE U.S. ARMY - British Pathe
    But. It does contain some good film of the US version of the Trackless tank (T13?) in motion, don't think I've seen that before. Presumably at Benning.

    BBC News - Is it a boat? Is it a lawn mower? Is it a car?


    As we know many men cannot resist tinkering away in the garage or garden shed.
    You might not think they actually achieve anything, but one man from West Sussex has.
    John Hinton has invented an entirely new form of transport as Tom Hepworth explains

    Here is video of an actual Studebaker Weasel.

    YouTube - ‪WEASEL M.29‬‏

    Here's a weasel being loaded under a Lancaster prior to an experimental parachute drop. A total of 12 drops were made in July/August 1943 at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. U.S.A.
