You have started something here It's amazing how some things have got to the places they are here over the years! May be why they got abandoned!

No pics yet sorry

T'is indeed. An AVLB, a Centurion Armoured Vehicle Launch Bridge as shown here:



With some good detail here:

Centurion AVLB - Danish Army Vehicles Homepage

The Australian Army employed the Centurions from 1952 up until the arrival of the Leopards in 1976.

One thing I love about Landys is that a lot of the panels on those old wrecks would be perfectly useable if cleaned up a bit.
