hmmm satu yang misterius..ada orang reply dalam posting blog eden yang dia pernah nampak kenderaan jenis DUKW dalam perbarisan merdeka kat dataran era 70'an..wa tak ingat dan memang tak tengok kut fasal time tu wa selalu pigi perbarisan Ipoh, so tak tengok kat TV...cuma dia kata tak lama lepas tu dah tak ada dah..

tak taula kut ada old timer sini perasan, tapi nak tanya dalam war reserves kita ada tak orang nampak...

yalah war reserves kita macam siri TV Warehouse 13 gak, macam2 menda tak disangka ada yang kita tak pernah fikir kita ada..

Hmm aku cek DUKW memang pernah service kat Malaysia tapi bawah Tentera British. Adakah ada yang dihadiahkan kepada kita selepas mereka keluar dari Asia Timur. Fasal tu ada dalam perbarisan Merdeka era itu?

Quote :

Britain deployed DUKWs to Malaya during the Malayan Emergency of 1948-60. Many were redeployed to Borneo during the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation of 1962-66. The Royal Marines still use a small number of these vehicles for training purposes in Scotland.

hmmm... interesting gak. tp wa mmg tak pernah tgk DUKW diguna oleh TDM.

eden rasa bukan white duck..tapi kelabu..

Quote :

The gray DUKWs seem to have been limited to the Royal Marines during the war, but the British Army's DUKWs in Malaya bore the same color scheme in 1966.

Terimakasih minz for foto reference, tak pernah tau pun. Tapi soalan sekarang, TDM atau ATM pernah operate ke bawah colors kita?

Da check, tp lum jumpa tp penah wat military operation at Labuan in ww2 under australian army...

ducw ni paling popular masa WW2, digunakan masa Dday.....untuk pendaratan amfibi....tapi x sangka TDM pon penah memilikinya...

bro tak confirm lagi..ini british army punya zaman darurat.

huuuiiiihhhhh..... ini retro niiii

Macam korang kata DUKW ni zaman British dulu betul la ada....

Setakat ni aku rasa DUKW yang betul2 ada (sort of) kat MINES, kat Melaka ngan kat mana tah satu lagi......)

tu lah pasal...ada mamat cakap dia pernah nampak DUKW ni masuk parade merdeka KL era 70'an kat TV..time tu wa ada kat parade Ipoh selalu..so tak tau ada ke tidak..

isk isk isk.. disebabkan gambar-gambar DUKW ni semua telah membuatkan hati ini ternostalgia sat... terus teringat scene citer band of brother.. masa diorang konvoi jeep, trak ngan DUKW tuuu sambil nyanyi lagu Blood on the Riser.. ni dia lirik dia.. k, bleh nyanyi sambil tenung2 gambo DUKW ni


He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright,
He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight;
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar,
"He ain't gonna jump no more!"

(CHORUS)
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!

"Is everybody happy?" cried the Sergeant looking up,
Our Hero meekly answered "Yes," and then they stood him up;
He leaped right out into the blast, his static line unhooked,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock,
He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop,
The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

The risers wrapped around his neck, connectors cracked his dome,
Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones;
The canopy became his shroud; he hurtled to the ground.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

The days he'd lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind,
He thought about the girl back home, the one he'd left behind;
He thought about the medics, and wondered what they'd find,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild,
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled,
For it had been a week or more since the last a 'chute had failed,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

He hit the ground, the sound was "SPLAT" his blood went spurting high,
His comrades were all heard to say "A hell of a way to die!"
He lay there rolling round in the welter of his gore,
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

(CHORUS)

(slowly, solemnly)
There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute,
Intestines were a'dangling from his Paratrooper suit,
He was a mess, they picked him up and poured him from his boots,
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!

blood on the riser kerrr upon the riser????

daripadaa reserach singkat aku nampaknya lepas PD2, DUKW British cuma dioperasi oleh 18 Company RASC (Amphibious).

entah kalau ikut alpha kat malaysia kurang 3 ketul sudah ada dioperasi dek swasta..aku rasa kalau sewa sat pun ok..kalau JPAM beli buat stok pun ok fasal swasta dah siap pakai, jadi spares patut ada..

ingat lagi banjir beasar kat utara 2, 3 tahun lepas
TDM siap pakai Sibmas tuk ops mindahkan mangsa banjir
tapi tu laaa kan.. kalu ader suku sakat keturunan DUKW ni
kengkurangnya tak ler bergantung harap kat aset tempur TDM sgt

errr.. tapi promo yg baik tuk anak-anak yg berminat nak masuk sojar
ekekekekeee

Wa rasa itik dah praktikal untuk ops menyelamat.. saiz terlalu besar kalau nak masuk celah-celah pokok getah untuk ops menyelamat di kawasan luar bandar, takpun kawasan berbukit-bukau. ladang kelapa sawit etc.. belum lagi kira faktor Malaysia nie terlalu subur banyak semak samun.

So wa rasa aset paling berkesan adalah sealegs ler yg dah dibeli oleh bomba dan diuji oleh GGK.
