hoppy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Storage or similar related to EWS (Emergency Water Supply)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 are these anti tank obstacles Looks like that Wally but others have suggested it's to do with tank warfare as well, but it ain't. There would definitely not have been any tanks within a thousand miles of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Storage or similar related to EWS (Emergency Water Supply)? A good thought & I can see what you mean, but these are not storage 'tanks' either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Its a mother of a stack of speakers for the ENSA concert, disguised by turf to stave off detection by enemy planes in case they think it is a huge ammo dump. :trustme: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Anything to do with horses or India? I don't think horses would like this at all. Very likely used in India but would be used worldwide or Empire wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
