simonsfotos Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Next, the mock battle and Living History Displays. Again I've tried to go for my twist on 'a bit different' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsfotos Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Finally, queries. I've been able to name all the vehicles apart from the following. Be grateful for answers as to what they are. Incidentally, there is a complete gallery of every vehicle that was in the Living History Field on my site and a total of nearly 200 photos from the day. This is the link: http://www.simonsfotos.co.uk/c1723299.html Hope you've all liked the photos. I'm now off to Duxford for three days of the best flying there is and not a jet to be heard!

ajmac Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Is it me or did anyone else think the comparison between the Tiger I and Sherman M4A2 HVVS (76) was a little Silly? A comparison between a Tiger I and a regular M4A2 would have had much more validity.... By the time the M4A2 or M4A3 HVVS (76) came along most of the Tiger Is on the Western Front were either knocked out or abandoned to the West of the Sein. Besides a Sherman with wide tracks, long barrel and muzzle break looks more than a match for a Tiger I to the general public:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fuss made by Wayne on another thread about correct uniforms and here we have Jack's GMC sporting American markings and wearing post war Norwegian tyres being used by Britsh troops. I assume that the scenario was depicting North West Europe , a theatre where GMC's were, as far as i am aware, not used by the British. If he's so fussy about uniforms why not the other details:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
