    Its a field outside Berlin late 1945. difficult to make out quite what it is... But if you can enlarge various bits, its a field stuffed full of US vehicles parked up. These look like halftracks.

    I considered buying it, but the weight was an issue, just too heavy for the Morris. Looks good though Steve, are you still douing the Morris LRV or have you given up on that yet?:whistle:

    A photo from the 32nd Armoured of the 3rd Armoured, England 1943. The pic says Codford , which is in Wiltshire, can anyone say for sure? The 32nd were based around there. If it is can you post a "Now" pic to compare, if it isnt Codford where is it? Number 2, but possibly a bit harder, can anyone ID where this is?

    That Maus reminds me of the very large tank that sits in the present cafe area of Bovvy, I dont know if my mind is playing tricks, but Im sure there was a super heavy there in that hall? Dont know what it was. Can anyone confirm that or shall I just get my coat...

    ...and trucks and cranes. Shipwreck in the Pacific. A place called Million Dollar Point, so called because the Americans dumped so much equipment there! http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.travel.neunerweb.de/Vanuatu1_files/image011.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.travel.neunerweb.de/Vanuatu1.htm&h=357&w=543&sz=18&hl=en&start=378&um=1&tbnid=V25DGbd4ViT0KM:&tbnh=87&tbnw=132&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgreat%2Bwar%2Btrucks%26start%3D360%26ndsp%3D20%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN

    I assume the discount it still available. I thought the article on the U Boats was fascinating too. Especially that you can still see some of them, like the one in the Medway, must go and have a look sometime.
  23. Rick W
    Obviously a Pavesi on top, is it a Berliot on the bottom?
  24. Rick W
    It does make you wonder..:rofl: Maybe its an art installation..
  25. Rick W
    And more. The first is obviously a FFW what is the gantry type contraption on the fron of the vehicle for? Secondly, are there any figures or numbers of the amount of CS8s lost at Dunkirk?
