Re: British Airborne Jeeps
I wonder if the flattened Jeep is an after shot of the first one, same front tyre.

About these Ground grip tires, I have the same for my British Airborne Jeep!
It only remains to get one, to complete the set of five!

Re: British Airborne Jeeps
Were jeeps (with a DOD of 1945 or late 1944) still be "equiped" as airborne jeep in 1945? Is it correct?

Re: British Airborne Jeeps
I also I have doubts whether there has been in the English army, some 1945 MB , but as I want and set it as British Airborne is not easy to get WWII jeeps and 1942 in Argentina, I must be content with what I have ..

Re: British Airborne Jeeps
Of course it is totally up to you whether or not you want to make your jeep "airborne style". I have a unrestored late december 1944 Willys and I was wondering whether or not a 1944 MB was ever in service and used as airborne jeep.

Only just found this site and was pretty amazed to see the flattened jeep photo...my dad took the second photo of the flattened jeep so I couldnt help but wonder if he knew the guys in the other photo.
