A mausoleum? No, seriously it is certainly is a big job

I would have thought the vehicles assuming they exist, it will be FT17, Char Bis and those modified R-35 fitted with a Czech anti-tank gun. The Channels Islands were only equipped with captured tanks, though still well worth recovering

I recall of hearing about an elderly gentleman taking his Abbot out to raise money one Remembrance Saturday in his local town. Whilst traversing the pavement the Abbot ripped out a number of kerb stones. Not wishing to encumber the local council into sending him a large bill for the rectification of pavement, he went the following day to relay the kerbstones. The following week the council pulled it all up as part of a redevelopment.

Perhaps there should be another post on useful terms heard when buying a vehicle; 1} They all make that noise. 2} They make them like that. 3} This should be in a museum it is so rare. 4} Vickers didn't make their machine gun mountings the same, they all differ....
