Articles Wanted...

I am after articles for the Defence Transport Heritage of Tasmania newsletter called "Tread and Track), it can be anything military transport related from any trivia, personal experience or general interest material relating to any sort of transport wether it be wheeled, tracked, winged or floating (even boots and bicycles count I guess) and it can be on any make, type, model, variant or an X unit. cartoons and pictures always welcomed and any stories of interest would be good.
Why do I ask this?, well, I am now the unofficial editor of the newsletter as I am helping my Wife Ann out as she is the editor but simply has not got the time to spare to write it and I would like to include more articles from all around the world and if you have any ideas for the newsletter feel free to tell me what's on your mind.
We are lucky enough have permission to use articles from Dave Doyles "Standard Catalog of US Military Vehicles" and with a massive newsletter circulation of 25 copies we are unlikely to impact on Dave's business interests and wouldn't want to do so, if supplying another persons work could you please supply the authors details so that if applicable I can request permission to reprint their work, if it's your own work however I guess by sending it to me permission has been granted :-)
I will fiddle with things and see if I can safe the files in .pdf form and publish them on here for all to see.
Thanks

MM

You can always throw in old articles from PS Magazine. They are on line and in the public domain. One of the colleges has all the old ones from the late 1940's / early 1950's to the 1980's (I think). The collection is at vcu.edu

I hope this helps.

Tony, I emailed an article that I wrote about how I became interested in M37s and how I went about restoring mine.
