gunnergoz Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Here's something you don't get to see every day: http://englishrussia.com/?p=5241#more-5241 The article does not say where this is, so I'm going to have to look into that, but I'm glad that someone is preserving these old beasts. It's just too bad it is not indoors where the interiors could have a chance of not corroding away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Look at the watermark in that photo, dymov.livejournal.com is where the photos are from. There's at least four galleries of the Mark V's, but I didn't find a mention of where this is. But at least one has become a monument: addentum: looks like the photographer lives in Lugansk, Ukraine. Probably that's where this is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 It's just too bad it is not indoors where the interiors could have a chance of not corroding away. Er...maybe I am missing something, but that looks pretty indoors to me. :confused: Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 If you click the first link, the photo series shows how they install the tank outdoors after repairs. That is the photo above your post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Yep, that's why I include the link, having been spanked here before for not having one in the body of my post. And thanks for the Lugansk tip, I'll look into that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks for that Gunnergoz - great stuff. Made in Wolverhampton (or the gearboxes were anyway). Do you know if these tanks are left over from the White Russian war, or were they sold to the Soviet Union later on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The recent "WWII Recon Photos" thread included an image of a MkV (or MkSumfink, British WWI rhomboid thing) taken somewhere in the Ukraine in WWII. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 There's also this Mark V in Arkhangelsk left there by the British intervention force. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2D9gW9bYRk MkV's in movement Its nice to know that the MkIV was the most common German used tank in both wars, and the MkV the best tank in both wars : ) Who says there are no lessons from history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 gunnergoz, If you liked that, then you definitely need to see "Tanks" on R. Lee Ermey's Lock n' Load. Inter alia, a fully restored, beautifully 'flaged FT-17 with working cannon! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
