    Tatra T-III will do for me. Also apparently known as a Tatra 78. I hoped the OT-810 would throw some off the scent.
    As far as I can tell there are only two photographs of this rarity. Only two built. Neither of them feature a turret.

    Is it the US M199 Dolly, trailer, converter, 18-ton, 4-wheel. (for larger semitrailers) that you are looking for or the loads themselves?
    The top one looks like the world's largest 2" mortar..

    As I said; What's going on? ;)

    The load really mate but they make enough of a purpose-built combination to count as vehicles in their own right.

    It's Little David.
    Little David
    The very page I saw it on.
    Picture Googling "Aberdeen proving ground" turns up some great stuff.

    What an utterly mental thing eh, I like the comparison with rail guns though, and the bottom load being a mortar baseplate just does my head in.

    Your turn.

    Ooooh, nice choice.
    But who needs one of them when you've got a Scammel. ;)

    That would be the very obscure Bedford Traclat, 6(?) built just postwar in Britain & inspired (obviously) by German halftrack design.

    Correct.
    Universal and Bren gun carriers of the 1st Royal Gloucestershire Hussars passing through Dorking, 23 July 1940. The leading vehicle is equipped with an experimental armoured roof.

    I have always been attracted to the evolutionary dead-end of the wheels cum track vehicles. Here is one I hadn't seen before. What is it?
