Crossed my mind too.

It's got plenty of free advertising, doubtless a private & commission-free sale will be promptly concluded.

This one is the "Black Cat Pass" wreck. The serial number is still visible on its tail and the US Star is outlined by the original British roundal, as it was originally intended to be part of a batch for Coastal Command. http://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b-17/41-9234.html http://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b-17/41-9234/articles/flightpath.html

I think it's the "Black Cat Pass" B17 http://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b-17/41-9234/articles/flightpath.html

Amazing what's still out there, not likely to be recovered, as it's not in such good state as "Swamp Ghost"

Read about this on the .pdf from Surviving Panzers, http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Comets.pdf Googled Wessington, dropped them a line & got the following from Andrew Blackford, the vehicle's owner. "The Comet Tank in question is mine and at the moment it's under going full restoration in our workshops by myself, I have owned it for about seven years but only started work on it last year, I do have some history . It's war time number T335222 built at Leyland late1944 it has the 'A' type hull ,it's original engine number 41490 later re engined at 13 command workshops Aldershot 14/6/1956 to 41094. It's post war number 15ZR05 we think that after it was re engined it may have been transferred to other duties or moth balled not sure which? it was brought back on census and then finally released 1/7/66 which was quite late. I know it stood as a gate guard at the museum at Winchester for many years until it closed and was sold to a dealer from whom I brought it from." I'm having no joy in uploading photos to here or my Pixa account, I'll try and add one another time!:mad:

Here you go Rick, two of them here, get your bucket & spade!

Speaking of wheels, the Ribble's got a nice set, frame's a bit of a gate!

Pop over to Com-Central http://www.com-central.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=13742 Also a bit of Google image work, using Kuril, Shumshu & tank, using Russian works for different vehicles.

From the Kuril Islands. Washed out by the Tsunami in '96? Here's one in-situ. The islands are littered with wrecks from WW2 and later, Japanese & Russian (Plus the odd American plane too!)

Holy ****! You hear about "barn finds", the odd Kettenkrad, chassis from an Sdkfz 7, but this lot!

Champion! Thanks for that.

The "Tank Battle" game was released in 1976, "Battle of Britain" in 1975. The latter date is quite surprising, as I'd thought it would have been a tie in with the immortal BoB film from 1969, I remember getting the Dinky Toys Spitfire & Stuka for Christmas that year. The Stuka's bomb was probably lost by Boxing Day! It was metal and you could put a cap between the nose and body, so you got a "bang" when it hit hard ground. Eeeeeh, nostalgia, it's not what it used to be.

Any ideas folks? Both are in the Museo Storico della Motorizzazione Militare, Cecchignola, Roma

And there's all the hoo-ha about inadequate food production, when the stuffs being converted into bio-fuel!

There's even rumour of a Tiger 1 buried under a Holden car factory in Australia. Mind you, there's also one in every swamp, bog or river between the Oder & Moscow! I found some photos of a very large hole that some enterprising Russians had dug in a road, to find one of these mythical Tigers, cutting off a village in the process. There is most definately, a Tiger II buried under the D913 near Mantes-la-Jolie. http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://251.pressflex.net/news/fullstory.php/aid/4651/Le_Tigre_dormait_sous_la_route.html&ei=aYh6TJP2OMvn4AbkoqHRBg&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCQQ7gEwAQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522Bruno%2BRenoult%2522%2Btiger%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26prmd%3Do

The Churchill looks like the Cadman Brother's example.
