Crawling around in a Matilda 2.

Hey, guys! Realized I haven't done one of these for a while so I squeezed into the turret of this little British tank. And by squeezed I mean BARELY! It was just me and it was cramped. Can't imagine what it must been with all three crew in there. Lets just say that the TC and gunner got real intimate inside this thing...
Couldn't even move the camera around to get the good shots so these will have to do. Hope you all like.

Your post made me grin.
I worked on tanks and other AFV's for ten years in the 70's and was convinced even then, that if a body was much more than 1.70-1.72 you were likely to not only have problems moving around inside but prone to getting all sorts of injuries. The ideal tankee ('tanker' US Eng) needed to be fairly short and slim with universal jointed wrists and ankles.

It like the old joke that a Russian tanker could not be taller than 5 feet and had to be double jointed.
