Comet = Cromwell on Growth Hormone & EPO?:nut:

One at La Ferte Alais in 2005. At least that's what it's captioned as.

I wa wondering whether these were converted from Cromwells. I wonder how the wife would like the idea of a turret in the back garden?:angry Grandson would love it, I'm sure!

The USN positioned several submarines along the B29 flightpaths, especially prior to Iwo Jima being captured and an emergency runway being built. Their role was to rescue downed crew.

[video=youtube_share;Owf2e7Xtx70] Sounds like a bucket load of bolts in a tin bath!

They've been shifting stuff for years!

Same type, but much larger? Bov's got ,MkI, II, IV, V** (elongated version, to cross wider trenches) & a MkVIII, plus a MkIX Troop Carrier. Elsewhere, there's a MkIV in Lincoln, that's not going anywhere, without taking half the museum apart, a MkV in the IWM in London, you couldn't sneak that out without it being reported & filmed! The only likely candidate is the A7V replica, from Bov.

Start, Pound's famous yard. Finish! http://henk.fox3000.com/morse.htm

What about the various Renault FT & it's American half-brother, the M1917? Of the former, we've Runners at Saumur & Thun, with The Weald Foundation restoring both an FT & a TSF - fair to assume both will be runners, of the latter, Old Rhinebeck has a confirmed runner, with a couple of potentially running tanks at Hayes Otoupalik's collection & Nokesville. I believe many of the Renaults were refurbished in the early 1930s, so I suppose it may depend upon how one defines "WW1 tank".

OK, you could argue it's American, but it was pinched from us! http://www.ww2incolor.com/german-armor/pzmk4-744e-1941.html A13, captured either in France or the desert, knocked out in Russia. Well, half of it's British!

Mastiff is our version of it. Make them in Coventry.

Not quite sure if this's the right thread, but a good picture. Conqueror on an AEC.

On the Ho Chi Min Trail. http://www.laosgpsmap.com/ho-chi-minh-trail-laos/

Another Grant.

The Cadmans' Grant? This one must be all shiney somewhere! Chieftain? Conqueror, again, has it been recovered & restored? All on the Pirbright range, from Grant Jones, Facebook Armor Journal group.

VK3001(H) Surely, surely it must have been saved if it lasted into the 1980s?

Mudbath or dustbath?

No, it just gives me a generic events list for my "Friends" Just in time to remind me of someone's birthday Sunday!:-D

Heath-Robinson eat your heart out!

I think the slats are a bit more substantial than packing crate material. They'd need to solidly support a man (with his hobnail boots), plus his kit & carrying heaven knows what else. Trench mortar, Vickers MG, ammo, rations. So they'd need to be solid.

These are displayed at Varlet Farm. http://www.varletfarm.com/en/index.htm They don't look "standardised" to me, more like "Get some wood & make duckboards for these trenches" The Sappers would thus get wood of the right size, give or take, saw to fit & nail together. What's your local timbermerchant got? Just eyeballing them, I'd say the struts are 4" square, the slats 1.5" thick 4" wide 18-20" long. 6 foot lengths? Couple of lucky souls carrying them. This bloke's probably your best source of info. http://www.warhistoryonline.com/articles/24hr-trench-mark-barnes-spends-the-day-with-the-author-andy-robertshaw.html
