Overseas Moving Target Ranges

Talking of Jeeps, the Willys type, I've seen a photo somewhere on the web of a gunnery range that consisted of a jeep that ran behind a sandbagged wall with some sort of rail to steer the jeep. The actual target was a painted aircraft on a sheet of wood/metal fixed to supports on the vehicle so it appeared above the sandbags.


Found the elusive Jeep Target photo I was talking about earlier, attached.
