LARC |
|
The LARC landing craft replaced the World War Two DUKW. The only suspension on the LARC comes from the large balloon tyres which greatly simplifies the job of getting the drive through the hull to the wheels. The engine is mounted in the rear and drives all four wheels and a large propeller. The Australian Army began using LARCs in 1964 for military and flood-relief operations. They have also been used at the Australian Antarctic bases for ship to shore transport - L. A11ison Bandiana
