Report - US Army LARC Craft (John Pound's, Tipner) - May 2010

[DanR]

I know these have been done before, however I thought I would post my take on the LARC amphibious resupply craft at John Pound’s in Tipner.

The history has also been done before so I won’t rehash it; so on to the photo’s:

Gratuitous black & white shot!

Throttle controls

Weird hole?!

Port-side power plants

Rear port-side power plant, sans rocker cover

Gathering box oil temperature gauge – port-side power plant (does anyone actually know what a ‘gathering box’ does??)

Cockpit shot


Cheers for looking and as always additional shots are on flickr

gathering box basically a external oil tank for excess oil so it can have enough oil to over fill it yet not be over filled , and that rocker cover i hope you put it back thats important not just a photo prop tho nobody will probibly ever have her running again if it was donated to me it probably would be on the canels of the uk.
