Hello all, As you can see I am a new member so I thought I would introduce myself. I have had an interest in the First World War for around 10 years now and have a particular interest in the AIF and Tanks. My username is taken from the tank commanded by a Lt who was born locally and was killed at Cambrai. I hope I...
http://www.fold3.com/browsemore/hQuDYIWQ2RR7_yZGG2DiAa80I_1/Unfortunately, at a handsome price. And I've seen one complaint saying that the company continued to take subscription fees out of someone's account after he'd cancelled his free trial. Anyone know any more?
At an antiques place last week, saw what looked like a chrome or stainless Adrian in a showcase. They wouldn't let us take a photo, but the helmet had a crest on the front bearing the motto FLUCTUAT NEC MERGITUR. This turns out to be the motto of the city of Paris, and the helmet that worn by the Parisian fir...

? Stumbled upon the attached - a Mark IV fitted with a snake track in 1918. Apparently had a top speed of 12 mph but the track system was too expensive so it wasn't pursued (until the Medium D). Regards, Charlie -- Edited by CharlieC on Tuesday 26th of March 2013 03:41:36 AM
This has been asked before (without much success): has anyone any idea what the dimensions (even basic ones) of the Latil TAR are? Even dimensions taken from a model kit (like the Azimut 1/35) would help.
I recently clicked the landship site on my home computer under favourites, only to find the site disabled, yet i can go straight into it with my Kindle. Is there something wrong. Funny how i can get on the site and read new posts and topics and reply. Any others experiencing this.
Hi all Can anyone recommend a range of 20mm figures I could use to accompany my mark 1? I'm specifically after a tankie to sit in the open hatch on the top. Cheers ?Phil

Does anyone have access to this article?? I can't move forward without it. Attached are several photos of...
Just been having another browse through T. Pidgeon's book, and it doesn't seem to say exactly how many Tanks were lost on the 15th. I know definitions of "lost" vary (temporarily OOA, recovered, etc) but I've found a reference that says two were "destroyed." Other details are...
Discussed the replicas used in the filmhereFound new photos of surviving vehicle, appearing to show that the acquisition was rather more legitimate than has been suggested. I've found out who BHP are, but can one of our Aussie friends throw any light on what the "Long Products Division"...
Hi All I was surfing for World War One tank photos and came across this site: ? http://wwimodeller.co.nz/ ? A good selection of photos, mostly of the Bovie tanks but pretty good none the less. ? Enjoy. Phil

This small monument commemorates the tank-v-tank encounter at Villers-Bretonneux. It's on the D168, near Cachy, but Google Street View is a bit hit-and-miss round those parts so I haven't been able to see it in situ. I have therefore had to borrow some images from other sites. Don't know who is respo...
