Pzkpfw-e Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E (Sd.Kfz. 181) Nr.133 by deckarudo, on Flickr 56 tonne tank + wooden bridge = epic fail! Quote
Big ray Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Just found this one, Chatham hill, it seems that no one was hurt but the cafe' had to be demolished. This sort of "accident" was known to happen when the driver took the Diamond "T" out of gear and coasted down hill, they would be pumping on the brakes to check the speed, only to find that they were not replacing the air, by the time that they realized they struggled to try to get back into gear, gaining more speed all the time and losing control.

Richard Farrant Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 About time the dust was knocked off this thread... no info on this, just a random web find. Looks like a Royal Engineer's Scammell Constructor. Were they testing the limit of the Bailey bridge? If so, I think they found it :undecided: Quote
N.O.S. Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 ISTR a set of photos of this incident were put on here with full details - check the Constructor thread (maybe 2008/9 that'll keep you busy for an hour or two :cool2:). Quote
Richard Farrant Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 check the Constructor thread (maybe 2008/9 that'll keep you busy for an hour or two :cool2:). hmmm...... got some wet paint to watch drying, will leave the search to you Tony Quote

fesm_ndt Posted April 20, 2014 Author Posted April 20, 2014 Any ideas on what the upside down one is? [ATTACH=CONFIG]90108[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]90109[/ATTACH] Quote
Bob Grundy Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 What a load of tripe that lot is, indulging the artist no doubt..... Quote
Great War truck Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 I think that lot is in the Lebanon. It was more of a way of demilitarising the militias than art. If it is to be taken as art then it is a rubbish art. Quote
David Herbert Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 The 'artisticly' placed upside down one is an Israeli conversion of a Sherman, fitted with HVSS suspension and the wider tracks and a diesel conversion (I think they were Cummins). I think that one was a M4A4 because of the bogie spacing but it is a bit hard to see. David Quote
Great War truck Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 It is the Lebanese "Hizballah War theme park". There is a clip of film about it here http://content.time.com/time/video/player/0,32068,593331362001_2013651,00.html So, no one bears a grudge then and they can all be friends again........ Quote

I think that one was a M4A4 because of the bogie spacing but it is a bit hard to see. David i wondered if it was something like that as didnt appear to be as wide as the newer tank. Quote
