Name This Photo!!! - The AFV Recognition Thread

[Rayman]

I've only seen it identified as the MOWAG Water Cannon. The Roland was a different vehicle.

Unless Rayman has something different, suggest you post the next pic.

edited to include additional pic

Its Mowag alright. The Mowag Panzerattrappe. As well I cant be as hasty with replies in the "prime time" as I work evenings so I get to them when I can.

I hope this one hasn't been posted before.

Based on the Christie system, I don't think it's the 1928....or the 1930....still looking though...

Danjanou- I can't see the picture you posted, could the link be broken?

While we're waiting for the next photo, let me backtrack a bit and add some clarification to one of the odd vehicles that show up from time to time.
Rayman had posted a series of pics starting at:
http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/48893/post-640501.html#msg640501

There was some discussion about it being milspec, the odd looking "gun" and whether it had actually been used by an army.
Semper Fidelis identified it as possibly a MOWAG Water Cannon and I had confirmed that I had seen it so identified before.  Rayman provided us with the correct name of "MOWAG Panzerattrappe". 

After a little research, I found the following.  "Attrappe" (in German) translates to "dummy" when used in a military context, so the vehicle is a "dummy tank".  While the "gun" looks odd and has been referred to (on other sites) as a water cannon (with the vehicle maybe intended for riot control), it possibly serves no other purpose than to look like a gun for training purposes.  More info at http://www.warwheels.net/AttrapeMOWAGTrainingVehicleINDEX.html

Thanks for the extra homework Black Adder,
The vehicle just didn't have the right look for a "milspec" AFV... and had all the hallmarks of a cottage "bodge" job.
As an armoured trainer or an antitank trainer, I think it's a great piece of kit.  I know that even in the '70s I would have found it to be Great value while training on Valcartiere's Plains of Sangro OR Gagetown's Lawfield corridor.
