Jessie The Jeep Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 With no particular place that they all fit, I decided to stick this random collection of pictures all in here. Everything was seen on my recent trip to the Musee De L'Armee in Paris. Amongst the unusual items are a WW1 Trench rifle. Not sure of its proper name, but it is sighted via a periscope arrangement so it can be fired without sticking your head into the line of fire. Unfortunately it was displayed in a very reflective glass case which makes the picture difficult to see clearly. Other interesting armaments included a B-17 or B-24 Ball Turret, a scale model of a heavy artillary piece ( all made in metal ), dozens of cannons, an early tank, machine gun, a WW1 Le Rhone rotary aero engine, and enough suits of armour to kit out every member of this forum and have some left over!!!!

Snapper Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 That's a Renault tank - an FT17 (someone will be more accurate) and the tankette is a Renault UE. Good stuff, Steve! MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It is one heck of a museum. They must have reorganised it since i was last there as the Renault was under the stairs last year. Thanks for posting the photos. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
