  1. Is this one? Wheels look very similar.
  2. http://t8hants.tripod.com/id2.html Shades of the trench catapult?[ It'd certainly get a tear gas grenade a good distance!
  3. The current status of these tanks (& others like the Crusaders & 15cm sFH 13/1(Sf) auf Gw Lorraine Schlepper(f) are unknown. It's also unknown to me, why the hell this is all underlined!
  4. The Syrian PzIV, were ex-Czech army.
  5. http://jerseyeveningpost.newsprints.co.uk/view/20132048/01531396_jpg Amazing what's in Hurd's Deep!
  6. That would require very deep pockets & I'd bet getting permits would be a real nightmare!
  7. Who knows apart from the locals? Quite a lot of the stuff in Iraq has been "mislaid", a very complete 15cm sFH 13/1(Sf) auf Gw Lorraine Schlepper(f) near Basrah, had its armour panels & other easily removable bits stripped in a matter of weeks, the rest may well have gone too.
  8. Here's a nice one, complete with concrete armour. Cast hull?
  9. At leasts there's no chance of the scrapman getting hold of them!
  10. Well, that's an M10 with a difference! Back to Shermans, I reckon it's an M4A3, still with it's wooden extra "armour". Iwo Jima, I believe.
  11. You star! It's in some Dutchman's barn, along with an IG37, a couple of PAK40 and some other kit!
  12. I wonder how many shots before the lorry's shaken to pieces?

    B-17 ride

    You jammy bugger!
  14. Now, where's that come from? There's only 3 in the UK, unless you've raided Bov, I guess it's the ex-IWM Panzerbefehlswagen?

  16. I read one book, where a British officer noted that a German machinegun, kept firing right up to the 11am curfew, the crew then stopped, packed up their gun, stood, saluted and marched off. British artillery loaded & fired a final barrage minutes before 11am and, you won't find any French graves, with the date of death as 11/11/18, despite men being sent to attack on the day, such was the embarassment of politicians, that their deaths were marked on their graves as being 10/11/18. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lawrence_Price the last Commonwealth soldier to be killed on the day. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7696021.stm Those wounded prior to the Armistice, did of course, continue to die, one could also argue, that those killed by the tons of unexploded ordinance, still harvested from fields in France & Belgium, are casualties of the war too.
  17. Loved the programme, loved his character, I still laugh everytime the series are repeated.

  19. Well, "Didi" is the German abbreviation of Dieter.
  20. I'm not convinced it'd do much, apart from add a ton of weight & fall off first hit!
