Buzz Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Schofield tank... another cutie Like an up-armored Dingo/Lynx hybrid? Had to laugh as my neighbors country clunker ATV looks very much like a Nazi German Motorcycle Tank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Try these Several of those are, strictly speaking, not tanks but something else, artillery pieces for instance. BTW, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the T-35. It may not have been a very practical or effective weapon, but it looks like the ideal of what a schoolboy would have drawn in his notebook when he was supposed to be studying algebra.

Michael Sounds like a Halloween house over at your place with corpses scattered about that periodically rise up in response to your thoughts. Must be great for date night.

JonS Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 26 August 1918 Sergeant Reginald Judson earns the Victoria Cross for his actions at Bapaume, France. While both leading a small party, and acting alone, he routed out several enemy machine gun posts. He earned the Military Medal on 16 August for actions a Bucqouy, and the DCM on 24-25 July for actions at Hébuterne. All in all, that must have been a busy month for Sgt Judson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noba Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Straight sets? Not really the sand, stopped playing Shockforce a while back. Good to see you are still vertical, albeit stooped somewhat, just like Emrys. Anything happen to you today? After all , it's history to some people.

JonS Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 29 August 1928 A British military airship mission arrives in New Zealand to select a suitable site for an airship mooring-tower base. Because the Government of Australia failed to select a site on Australia’s eastern seaboard, the concept of an airship link with the United Kingdom was never feasible.
