  1. http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/vatryk/view/329954/?page=11 About 10 photos, no date or location given, Russian website. Shows M10s, an M3 Lee/Grant and an interesting Sherman with extra turret armour and a vision-blocked cupola. Be warned, you could (& probably will!) spend hours looking through this guy's photos, there's all sorts of tasty military junk there!
  2. SS John W Brown & Jeremiah O'Brien still exist as running "museum" ships. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_ship
  3. Interesting collection there. The Warsaw '43 uprising photo appears to show Jurgen Stroop, who finally met the hangman's rope in March '52. Yep here it is. http://www.deathcamps.org/occupation/stroop/photos42.html Josef Blosche is the other soldier identified, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Bl%C3%B6sche it took until 1969 before he received his just deserts!

  10. Just to show it's not just German stuff coming out of Russia's wastes A Type 95 Ha-Go. From this Following stages http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://skr.su/%3Fdiv%3Dskr%26id%3D74302&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1 http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://skr.su/%3Fdiv%3Dskr%26id%3D77157&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1 http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.skr.su%2F%3Fdiv%3Dskr%26id%3D79047 To this The Kuril Islands are still covered in WW2 wrecks, both vehicles & aircraft. This is a most interesting find. How did it get there?
  11. Bloody good job we didn't have to fight a real war with the bloody things!
  12. I've been to Lancaster a few times, not really much to see.
  13. They're Renault FT17 (The little tanks), MkV (Large tanks) the armoured cars are Austins, I think. I'm guessing it is somewhere in Russia, during our abortive intervention post 1917 Revolution.
  14. Never seen this creation before, found it on a Russian website, apparently used to bombard Austrian alpine fortifications.
  15. I'm guessing it's in the UK, judging by the wall posters.
  16. Maybe Bulgarians rather than Germans! Oodles more om www.lostbulgaria.com
  17. I've also got the magazine keys to HMS Havant, the rest of the ship being somewhere off Dunkirk.
  18. Near enough. http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2006/09/17/russian-tank-recovered-from-the-lake-after-50-years-been-there/ (OT34 version) And another http://reibert.info/gallery/v/Archeology/Technics/T-34/Rise/ And another KV1 from the river Neva http://www.vincelewis.net/kv1.html Plus a BT5 http://www.nortfort.ru/np/foto_tbt1_e.html And a PzIII came from a bog near Smolensk http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CB4QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthe.shadock.free.fr%2FSurviving_Panzer_III.pdf&ei=300STfafJYyEhQfJ7Im3Dg&usg=AFQjCNEQIYhJoXt5Rc776nKPqv-fG-Rfxg Scroll down to the bottom of the list.
  19. Not only the German's mounted big guns on railways! 305mm (12") ''Центральный музей Великой Отечественной войны'' г. Москва ''The Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War'' in Moscow More piccies here http://fotovalkirumodelism.com/page.php?page=713
  20. It's currently displayed at Saratov http://fotovalkirumodelism.com/page.php?page=153 (And the rest of that website's worth a browse!) There's been quite a few Tiger bits recovered over the years, several intact smaller tanks fished from rivers & bogs too.
  21. This lot's worth a look at. http://armygear.org/?Home http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/photogallery/travel/travel-news/the-collection-of-the-meandarra-anzac-memorial-museum/20090724-dvtg.html?selectedImage=0 Plenty of ex-British softskins, in addition to Grants, a Matilda & other armour.
  22. My late paternal grandfather served on submarines during the 1930s. I inherited his photo albums, so here's a few I uploaded onto my Facebook account. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=125804&id=697708983&l=85ac624908 Includes photos of the ill-fated HMS Poseidon, that sunk after a collision in July 1931 and recently made headlines again, after the Chinese salvaged it on the quiet.
  23. Cannons may be bronze, certainly not brass!
  24. Another one around the side. Wolverine. I was trying to ask M Leloup if I could have a look around the back, but my French was inadequate for the job!
