He has found a couple of photos of the tank in local papers but nothing more in the way of pictures of it?- and no postcards at all which is slight...
Was browsing online for interior photos of rhomboids in connection with a different thread, and came across a picture of a lovely clockwork tank on an auction house website. The toy was part of an old sale from 2008 (sorry to disappoint!) and is described as being made by a British company in Liverpool...

I know that strictly speaking it isn't a first world war gun as they came just to late, but it's coming to my home town, so decided to post it here. :) Fort Nelson is already a fab museum. You get an historic fort perched on top of the hill above Portsmouth, a really interesting collection artillery, AND if...

Does anyone know what material this was made of?? In most?photos it looks like some sort of panel material with a couple of bends in it - where it meets the track and then when it leaves it. Also - although provision for this seems to have been built at the factory on all tanks, it seems to appear in somewhat...
