Hi,

Everything in the title, not sure about the "s" after M88A1 as an old thread on Missing Lynx Modern that came up in a google search mentions Norway had just one vehicle?

I found many photos on FaceBook of a Norwegian M88A1 in a museum in Poznan, Poland. It has Diehl (?) tracks similar to those fitted to Austrian M88A1s and M6OA3O.

So how many did Norway really have? Any info on units and markings? Photos other than the one posted by the Polish museum on FaceBook?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Christophe

According to Armyrecognition.com, Norway has 3 M88A1's....
