Hi guys,

do you know about a good source for photos of Panhard AML-60 used by French during Op. Manta in Tchad (83-84)? These are quite hard to find.

Thank you for any recommendation.

I´ve seen it, yes. But thank you anyway.

I like the vehicles in desert/brown camo the most. I saw a very nice photo of such in a french magazine (RAIDS or Steel Master, not sure now).

You'll find some pics of AML-60's in 2-tone camo (Senegal, 1990-1992) here :

I'll bet that truck was a royal pain to steer with the front duals.....

Wear and tear on the steering components aside, it looks like fun.
