Today was Salem Oregon’s airport 75th anniversary. Along with the planes displayd there were a few pieces of armor. Just thought I would share them here.
First a M3 Halftrack with Quad .50 gun mount.
Inside the cab
1942 M3 Personal Carrier
1959 Ferret
I had to make a few correction on this post. I went back out to the airport today and found a few mistake. Both halftracks are M3’s and the Ferret was built in 1959 not 56. Sorry for my errors, the ol’ memory you know.
[:D] great pics,thanks for showing then to us.[:D]

[:)][:)] Yeah, thanks for the photos. Always like to see “the real stuff.” By the way, is thst Ferret U.S.? I’ve never seen one before.
ga.retread,
It’s a British/Commonwealth vehicle, built off the Daimler Scout Car chassis if I’m not mistaken.
Thanks for these pics Model Grandpa! Now I was able to see how incorrectly I painted the interiors of my half tracks 27 years ago.[B)][:I] Well, time to pull out the paints and see what I can do about that…! [:)]
Glad you guys like the pictures, more then happy to share them. I’m actually going to join the association to help restore the M16. I am heading back out today and will take a few more detail shots of the halftracks and maybe the ferret, see how many pics will fit on my ol’ digital camera
great pics. thanks
