War and Peace and Weather

Went to the War and Peace Show yesterday down in Kent. Huge show with plenty going on. Shocking weather at times though.

The front end of a Lancaster:-

You could go inside for a look (gawd knows how they did what they did in these things):-

Some of the Living History chaps were taking is quite seriously (wonder what his back garden looks like):-

The Germans were out in force:-

But not all looking smart:-

Panzer summink:-

Tiger 1...or is it?

And so were the Russkis:-

But at least we held the Beer Tent:-

Tankfest

Went to see the tanks at Bovington last weekend. Good selection of armour and a boiling hot day to boot.

Gert big Tiger 1 - the only running one in the world

NSU Kettenkrad - half motorbike, half tank German strangeness

Sturmgeschutz (or StuG) - self propelled assault gun
