LoggyDriver Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) I've been doing some research on local airfields and came across this website that had plenty of pictures of a local airfield. The guy included some pictures of this tracked vehicle. The airfield is a WW2 airfield and closed in 1950. You can still see the camo paint. Question is, what the hell is it???

shatters Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Presuming the site you mentioned was Derelict Places, I think it was mentioned that it was on a paintball site. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
