Tank Factory

[les freathy]

Heres a idea we can all get involved in to find as many photos as possible of factory shots and tank production this batch as starters shows Crusaders, Crusader AA MK2,Centuar dozers and Matildas. I thought the carriers could be included here, not quite Herr Grubers little tank but a tracked armoured vehicle none the less

Excellent idea Les!

 

Here´s one from Life Magazine. Search for "Chrysler Arsenal" to see more.

No mate. Was that 76 or 77? Only visit I did was to the Arrer at Pompey right after we got back from Omagh. I am guessing the Alvis visit was 77 when I was away from town much more regularly:

 

in MRS with screamers right after we got back from Cyprus;

in Hannover for an adventure training exercise in Norway courtesy of Tanky who tipped us (his troop) that Lou was having an RSM's parade and this got us out of it;

Boscombe Down seeing how many CVR(T)s we could get into a Boeing YC-14

Free-fall Parachute Course, etc etc
