BRDM Driver Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 This site has a load of interesting Russian tanks, planes, boats, all sorts. Also a lot of tanks found in lakes... http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2007/06/07/977/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo578 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 All but one of the tanks really existed - only the lengthened KV is mythical -although a triple turreted model of SMK was presented to Stalin who promtly ripped a turret off saying "why make a tank into a department store".

steveo578 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) eddy8men now that's my kind of thing, anyone got a snorkel i could borrow Hi eddy In russia anything found belongs to the state. However there are several instances of stories of sunken tanks in the UK - A valentine in Scotland -two instances of Covenantors sunk in Yorkshire and a story of a troops of covenantors driven into a bog -evidently to get rid of them -but no specific area given.

eddy8men Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 i think there's 5 valentines off the moray firth and 2 centaurs in brecklesham bay but i doubt they'd be salvageable now, but you never know til you try i suppose eddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo578 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 The ones I mention were all bog burials so if they ever are found they will stand a good chance of a rust free recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
