http://books.google.com/books?sa=N&tab=np&q=rhodesia%20pookie is suggested for those who want to further improve this article or for those who would dispute the Pookie's "notability".--Father Goose (talk) 03:35, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
"...of the 76 vehicles built between 1976 and 1980 none ever detonated a mine" seems debatable. "From Safari Suit to Camouflage: The Memoirs of George Selby" By Lillian van Velden mentions a Pookie losing a wheel and axle to a mine. http://weaponsman.com/?p=27146 says "Even though Pookies did detonate anti-personnel mines and several booby-trapped anti-tank mines in action with the Rhodesian army, this was only at the cost of new wheels and rim replacements, but no serious human casualty". I'm thinking about correcting the article in that direction --Jean-Marc Liotier (talk) 09:59, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
