Many thanks for the help guys! So it's not a tank, but a (marine) APC? (and I'd already guessed that it was made in USA):-) Sorry about the pic quality, but it was a screen cap from BBC news video. The vehicle was only shown for a second or two and the Video area is tiny, no way to enlarge it, the BBC want us to buy TVs so they can charge us a License fee. I don't have a TV..:-)) I just use their Internet site (too much cr*p on TV to be worth a license fee..) (Must remember to google "simba"...) Cheers, Diolma
