robin33ba07 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 VT 55 now sold heading back to the UK to be turned into a German WW2 tank ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Obviously a sale needed to be made but it is a great shame to make a pretend German tank out of it as it will never look like one other than to wannabe paintball heroes and a rather nice piece of cold war history gets destroyed.
