A small parachute (is it too small for a person?) in a sand coloured bag with a 1944 date stamp - the label printing is faded but may say "size 22" near the stamp.

I am not an expert on parachutes, however a few years ago I managed to blag a guided tour of the parachute museum at Brize,Norton they showed me a chute like this that was designed for the parachute instructor to use in the air , in case they got pulled out during training, they had to open the front and chuck it out, and it was on the small side, but the bloke said its better than waving your arms in the air

En route to visit friends, I always stop off at the town of Phalsbourg in the Ardennes

This tank sits just off the roundabout

can you tell me a little about the model ?

I did notice the hatches underneath were open and it looks like local kids have climbed inside, not me I consider that bad manners

Although I never visit the racing track, its near enough for me !

I have an interest in military vehicles and will post a few images when I work out how

at present I don`t own a military vehicle but I am trying to find the time to restore an elderly Morris Car

thought I might pick up some useful inspiration and tips here
