Does anyone have any info on Haflinger's equipped with Bantam missle's? My Haflinger has the configuration and I am trying to find out more information.
Yes, Dave my truck does have that mod. I figured it was for transport or something until I was at NWMF a couple years ago and found out different. I have used it in the woods to slip under large fallen trees! The only other one I have seen is the one in the earlier attached photos. Do you known if this mod was common?
Scott.
I've only seen it in pics of Haffies with the missile systems, and really don't know more than that about them . They were Swiss Hafs, so I am not sure if it's factory or a Swiss mod. Does your truck have fuses, or circuit breakers?
Years ago, I did get several pics of the rollbar system from one that was in Idaho.... I don't know if it is still there, or was sold. I would really like to have one for my Haf, as I am really into the " inventive" systems of doing a job......so much more than a simple fold windshield and fire missiles.
I've had several Pinzes and Haffies over the years, and was impressed with the designs from the first. The Supacats are another that there is so much more to than what meets the eye.
Cheers
Dave

Hello,
I was a former bantam swiss soldier. Bantam was a wire guided antitank rocket. Here is a pic from 1985 my first year in the military. You can see the Haf with rockets and the cable roll leading to the remote control. We had to pilot the rocket manually with a joystick. Range was from 600 meters to 200 meters (flying time from 20seconds!). In the Haflinger were to soldiers (driver and bantam shooter). A team was composed of two Haflinger with rockets and an ammunition-supply Haflinger. A platoon was composed of 3 teams. A company of three platoons. At that time, teams were indeoendant and dispatched in others units to slow the tank advance. shooting positions were prepared and the hafs normally hidden in foxholes as the shooter.
Will send you more pics soon.
