I believe I saw a couple of Japanese tanks. That is one interesting parking lot.

Jacques had 245 AFVs in his collection at the high point with one tank coming in every week. He loved to play with the toys as well ! He had one or two non tank things like this prop off the Lusitiana. I think the family kept that.

That is so cool. I want a playground just like that.

The 7th image shows the US Heavy Recovery Vehicle M51. It looks like it belonged to the USMC.

The Canadian armoured vehicle is a Fox (built by GM Canada):

For comparison:

The last two photos are from here.
And here is a photo from a booklet called "Surviving Humber and Fox Armoured Cars":

I knew I asked the right people . Thanks All!

Wurger · Jun 4, 2021

Tieleader , however, not all of the vehicles were identified... so... the first and second image present the post-war Hotchkiss CC2 Nachschubpanzer also called SPz 42-1 kurz based on the Hotchkiss TT-6 and used by the West German Mechanized Infantry in late 50' and early 60'. It looks like somebody added the top body in order to make it similar to a WW2 German SPG. The one in your pic is still having the front and back supports for handrails. The participation in a movie is very likely as it was suggested.

Finally, I have reminded myself where I saw a such vehicle... "A Bridge Too Far" movie ... below a couple of screenshots I found via the net.

Great spot Wojtek

When I mentioned it possibly being an ex-movie vehicle, it was exactly that I had in mind.
Done up to look like a Marder, and seen in the movie during the American scenes in the woods, and, of course, on the bridge.

#8 (IMG576) is a VT-55A armored recovery vehicle, as others have stated. See this Wiki site.

And #7 (IMG575) is a USMC M-88 heavy armored recovery vehicle with the a-frame folded down and no extra track blocks on the side. Picture is of a German M-88, but still the same vehicle.

Of course with the Marines retiring (i.e., getting rid of) their M-1 Abrams tanks, I would guess that the M-88 will be going away also.

Wurger · Jun 7, 2021

Sorry it is not M88 but M51. Read my post #24.

Col Campbell · Jun 7, 2021

Thanks, Wurger. I didn't realize there was a second page to the respponsess. It is, as you have identified, a USMC M-51. Oops on my part.

Jim

Wurger · Jun 7, 2021

It's OK. My first impression was the M88 as well. But when I looked more close up I found that the body had two doors at the port side while the M88 had one only. ALso the M88 had three guiding/support rollers for the tracks and these were quite close to the road wheels. The M51 had them four and more moved up.
