discussion Just a few from Tankfest

[The Smythe Meister]

Not sure it`ll be of interest to many because i think you`re all well fed with the average Panther,Tiger,Sherman pics,(I know i am!!:rolling!...
So just a few photos from a very enjoyable day out at TANKFEST yesterday:hugging-face:,
It` was great to meet Andrew and Junior,(even though it was cut short due to my complete inability to tune in to the modern world,(I.E. had no phone signal and didn`t even think of logging on to the Museum`s WI-FI until the last minute :flushed:!!),
Anyhow... Here are a few photo`s of the subjects that caught my attention,(Getting more and more into "Unusual" stuff these days....

Got a few of those diddy little things in the stash!!... I also like the early "Armoured Cars".....


... and i LOVE my motorcycle combies .... this one is AWESOME ,unfortunately there doesn`t seem to be kit for it :disappointed2: .... but look at this piece of art....

... I`ve got loads more pics if anyone would like to see them,
Hope some of this is interesting to a few?!!:rolling:
Andy....
OH!!..... and for anyone thinking,(Like my mates at work :angry,that Rachel wouldn`t enjoy it.....
... Here is "Tankgirl"!!:thumb2:

LOVING it!!

OK then Gents,In no particular order.....(apart from old to new)...



Sorry,Rach got in on that one....she thought it was a cool one,she`s right of course,but i had to impress on her a more favourite few of mine !!

[Tim Marlow]

Nice shots Andy. The Panther is definitely cool, but I’ve never liked that Camo pattern……

Is that a new Stug or have they taken the logs off the old one? Don’t remember seeing that one before, but then I’ve not been for three or four years.

Not sure Tim.... But it is the same one I photographed last September. I don't have any photos I can find from previous visits... :sad:....but I definitely remember one with logs on......

Need to do some more digging but I think it was actually a Finnish army one.... Maybe it was on loan???

 

[Steve Jones]

Its been there for the last couple of years at least. It was the one they lent to Duxford or some other place for a few years.

Cheers Steve. Makes sense. Must have come back since I last went to Bovvy. Was the land hall closing at Duxford, or was that just rumour?
