    Upload them to Flickr or even Facebook, then use the tags.

    Maybe worth getting it stove enamelled? If you've a "real" bikeshop near you,they'd be happy to advise.

    Very doubtful, with the price of scrap and China's voracious appetite for it, same as the planes littering the Indonesian & Phillipines upto the 1960s/70s.

    Here it is on Miliblog http://miliblog.co.uk/Index.php?p=119&creativepage=6 No other mention of that reg number, surprising as you'd think it'd be snapped up if it ever came to market.

    I assume it's an OT810 chassis. SA6 "Gainful"? Plus some FV432 types. All lurking on the Twin Lakes industrial estate, Croston near Leyland.

    By the time the V2s were falling, they'd have been far better of forgetting about bombers completely.

    It wasn't a Horton 229, it was a Gotha 229. Horton made the Ho IX prototype, with Gotha being the designated manufacturer. The only survivor, the V3, is currently being restored - to static display! - at NASM. http://airandspace.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?id=A19600324000

    I believe it's post-WW2 too. Monty does look quite elderly, several of the workers have their medal ribbons on. What about the officers with him? There's a couple of cap badges visible & they look quite highly ranked.

    Scattered all over the place! This one's at the Royal Artillery's "Firepower" museum, Woolwich Arsenal, London. I assume this is ex-Iraqi, it's at Duxford. Recovery version next to it, and there's a ZSU 23-4 there too.

    Most unfortunate.It's an 80% scale model.Sounds like structural failure, if the spectator's comments are right.

    [video=youtube_share;KaABehJLi-Q] Yup, up & running!

    Yup, she's restored to running with the MVCG Midi-Pyrenes.

    It was fast - 475mph- but very prone to the rear engine overheating & bursting into flame. The one pictured, the sole survivor, is on display at the NASM. 37 were constructed to some degree, probably 13 completed and a few flown in tests post war.

    By the dawn of the 60s, the whole idea of the Heavy Tank had been superceded. The IS3 and its modified versions the T10 & the IS4; the American T43/M103 (also armed with a 120mm gun) and the Conq were White (Or probably Green!) Elephants. Thick armour was no protection to HEAT & HESH rounds and the little AT-3 "Sagger" capable of penetrating 8" of armour, angled at 60 degrees, showed what it could do in the Yom Kippur war.

    I'm guessing that a 1:1 resin version could be produced & either used as-is for a static restoration, or used as a pattern to produce a mould to make steel ones from. They're thought to be going to produce a bit of a revolution in the model making world, here's one for a mere £1500 http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/plus-personal-portable-printer-p-644.html They work by literally printing the design, building up layers of material.

    It's believed to be a "new" one. The owner, Herr Hoebig, used to own the famous "M.Murat's Field" in Trun. Concensus is that it's a bit of a big boys' Airfix kit, having been assembled from parts from a number of Tigers that were scrapped in said field. It's a late production version, with steel-tyred wheels. Only three of them are "Of the six", Vimoutier, Saumur & Lenino-Snegiri.

    I guess W&P moved because this was on the horizon?
