Great stuff Karl. Got to say, 'we' designed some pretty awful tanks in the early days !

Churchill

the Black Prince

Great shots Karl! The Churchill does look damn good there...

Airframes · Sep 12, 2011

Good stuff Karl. That early Churchill is a strange set up - sort of a mix of old and new ideas.

Nice shots Karl!

Comet

Good stuff Karl. That early Centurion must be sitting on a very strong stand !

cheers guys and Terry thanks for the correction on the Centurion, thought it was a later Comet version

Airframes · Sep 18, 2011

No problem mate. I think the middle one is either a Cromwell or Centaur - never can remember - from which the Comet, and then the Centurion developed.

you may be right with Cromwell, must pay more attention to the info instead of pointing and saying "ooh ooh look at that one" next time

Hi, hopefully you wont mind me jumping in with a couple of my shots from Bovington as there have been requests for these, if I'm ever back there I'll let you know! Apologies my camera isn't the best! Indeed their Tiger 131 is the only running one in the world. In one of these shots you'll see a gantry over the Tiger, she was being maintained and they took the engine out, you could see right into the engine bay. You'll kick me for this but I'm afraid I didn't take any pictures as they wouldn't have come out very well.
