If they're your two lads, I bet that their friends are incredibly jealous that they've got a toy like that at home, when they're stuck with some poxy lump of plastic from Walmart!:cool2:

Yes, it's the turret from a Churchill MkII.

For those who want a photographic list of surviving Churchills, look ye here! http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Churchills.pdf Interesting to see a couple plus a turret have been found in Iraq.

Oh dear, more Threadomancy from me! The Bug fetched a whopping 260,500 Euros at auction. On the subject of there being more of certain cars now, than were made, there's a Bug in a Japanese collector's possession, with the same chassis number as the one pulled from the lake! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/7094129/Bugatti-wreck-too-valuable-to-restore.html It's also "worth" more as a wreck than if restored. Mind you, I'd guess that few restored HMVs would turn a profit for their owners if sold.

Poor you! However, all is not lost. There's the Lincolnshire Aviation Museum http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/ at East Kirkby. Apart from that, loads of mud, plenty of birds at Gibralter Point nature reserve and endless amusement arcardes.

Do bears defacate in the woods? As an aside, the Batterie Todt A13 wreck has met its end! http://www.com-central.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=13222 It fell apart and was consigned to the scrapman's furnace. Doubly sad, as it was probably recovered from the beaches at Dunkirk.

There's bits of them lurking in a field in Trun.

Too much modern stuff around here, let's get historic! (Well known one that)

Ah, right. I think it would be a JagdPanzer/Panzerjager IV. One of those was removed from Bulgaria, reputedly going to Germany, prior to the Bulgarians realising that there was some value in the various buried WW2 kit along their borders. Here's a few more pictures of some of the recovered vehicles. http://www.repubblica.it/2006/05/gallerie/esteri/bulgaria-carrarmati/1.html Pictured are a Panzerjager IV L48 Vomag, Panzer IVH/J, a couple of StugIII, a lash-up with a Russian 76mm on a PanzerIV & the last one's of a T34/85 turret still in situ. See the various files on http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Panzers.html for more pictures.

Well, you're in the Pas de Calais area, if my French geography serves me right. So there's Wattern (Blockhaus d'Eperlecques ) & Wizernes for starters. http://www.leblockhaus.com/intro.htm http://www.v2rocket.com/start/deployment/wizernes.html Then there's Batterie Todt at Audinghen. http://www.batterietodt.com/ Arras is well worth a visit and there's plenty of WW1 battlefield items in the area too.

Nice to see you've got " 'Er indoors" to assist. Mine caught me looking at photos of rusty stuff and said "No you're not getting any of those". Since my mechanical abilities run out at pop-riveting, gun-gum and changing spark plugs, she's pretty safe there.

Looks like they'd run out of real tanks and used a silhouette (?spelling?) made out of sheet metal.

Almost got a lot of cold water to sober him up too!:cool2: A few feet more to the left and............. Splash!

Only too real, see here's one of the many spoofs it's spawned. http://www.1010global.org/no-pressure That's the second apology from the organisation, after sponsors like Sony upped & left. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/10/04/the-1010-splattergate-goes-sploot-a-roundup/ Whatever one feels about the merits of the catastrophic AGW premise, this isn't the way to go about publicising it.

Shows up OK for me, it's off this thread. http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2010/05/14/overturned-tank-at-the-kremlin-walls/

Here's an inverted Russian! OK, SPG if one's being pedantic.

Lots of debate about that video. General response is that it's in extremely bad taste and a real shot in the foot moment for the CAGW people.

Makes a change to the usual appeals from Mr Umbongo of Lagos, Nigeria.

Here's a set of stills showing what else is in the woods there, no bears defacating! http://the.shadock.free.fr/Tanks_in_France/camp_meucon/index.html

Looks like a Tallboy or Grandslam. It is an early Centurion, probably a MkIII, you can read parts of the nameplate if you magnify the image, it says "captured" "October", so it's an ex-Indian army tank.

If it is raised, it'll be the only one "in captivity" The only other potential museum-piece Dornier is in the sea off Holland. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/23110283/m/1931079395 Now all we need is a Stirling!

The green paint looks right for the internal colour of a British aircraft.

http://www.pakdef.info/museums/cmt_golra_gallery.html A few bits for the wheeled enthusiast - Ferrets & a glimpse of something Russian & 6-wheeled. Mostly tracked, but highly desirable. A Sexton or two anybody?

Interesting array, T34/85s, BTR152s, but what are the armoured cars?
