Mike, he had the boot filled with spares

I should have asked if he had the bottle of "Lucas smoke" to replace when needed.

The thing rode like a dream. Very well kept, but then again he did work for British Airways during the Mid-East/African expansion, so he knows a thing or two about upkeep! Proper British gentleman, even had his driving gloves!

Japan's Type 2 Ka-Mi Amphibious Tank
Japan's Type 2 Ka-Mi Amphibious Tank (photo) - Pravda.Ru

The Type 2 Ka-Mi was based on the Army's Type 95 Ha-Go light tank, but with an all-welded hull with rubber seals in place of the riveted armor. It was intended to be water-tight. Large, hollow pontoons made from steel plates were attached to the front glacis plate and rear decking to give the necessary buoyancy. The front pontoon was internally divided into eight separate compartments to minimize the effects of damage from flooding and shellfire. These floatation devices could be jettisoned from inside the tank one the tank landed and commenced ground combat operations
