Hello, Found this photo somewhere, they say it is an Italian car from 1917 and is called SPA 9000C. Could it be that "SPA" stands for "Self Propelled Artillery" and not for the name of the truck? What is the correct name of the truck and what gun is it? Tks, DJ
I popped down the newsagent earlier this week to find the November "Classic Military Vehicle" only to find I was too late and December's is in stock.? I understand there was an article by David Fletcher on the Mark II in November's edition.? Did anyone see it? If so, does it contain anything...
Does anyone know of a good quality photo of Lt Frank Mitchell (21st Div- later Tank Corps)? Maybe a bit of his bio, too. What's on-line is pretty sparse. ? Thanks, Dave
In the US patents files I found a patent applied for in 1917 by Pliny E Holt. Its actualy titled as an armoured tractor but is in fact a tank or assault gun. I enclose an impression of what it might have looked like if built. The patent drawings although sectional have many missing details such as where the...

I have become embroiled in a prolonged debate on Wikipedia on the question of Patton and Cambrai. It seems to me that no U.S. forces or Tanks could possibly have taken part in the battle and that Patton's presence in any capacity is so doubtful as to be not worth mentioning. Unfortunately, I have encoun...
Does anyone have any photos and information on WW1 Imperial Russian Chemical units, devices, masks, weapons, uniforms? I've looked around for a while and found nothing other than bloshevik use of gas during the Tambov Rebellion to liquidate "dissidents" in 1920.?
There weren't any.Can't find it now, but a while ago I raised the question of where the Holts used by A-H on the Western Front came from, since there didn't seem to be any reference to the KuK actually buying any. A possible answer was that they came from the fabled Holt factory in Budapest, the existence...
Questions and info about uniforms are all over the forum, mostly in the "individual weapons and tactics" and "miscellaneous" sections. A dedicated uniforms section could help finding information quicker. Just a suggestion.

Funny how all those modelling projects take soooo much longer when the sun's out... not that we saw too much of it this summer! Finally a couple of long term (that shouldn't have taken that long!) ? master projects have come to an end and I can get on with building some of my stash.? ? ? I've attached a bunch...
Most people here are probably familiar with the French Char FCM 2C, and I should imagine most also know about the one vehicle (Champagne) which was fitted with a 155mm howitzer for some years (though refitted with the original pattern 75mm gun in, I think, 1939), and which was designated Char FCM 2C Bi...
Well, maybe this tank?is well known, but it is a bit of mystery to me. I?ve found this shot on ebay. Recently I obtained another photo of the same vehicle, when I?ll get to scanner, I can post it as well. Photos were clearly taken in WWII, because there are WWII German soldiers around the tank on my picture...
As usual, apologies if this isn't new. Startled to see this pic on chars-fran?ais. WWIIGerman soldier (Luftwaffe?) in souvenir photo with cat and St. Chamond. I thought all vehicles were broken up, apart from the Aberdeen example. Anyone throw any light?
How do you get errors corrected on the Landships website?? I was just looking at the Mark IV walkaround and saw that Grit is captioned as 4543.? It's actually 4643.? Also Flirt II is captioned as 2179, which is what's painted on it today, but isn't its original number.? 2179 isn't even a Mark IV serial nu...
Dear all, my knowledge about French Renault FT-17 is still low, but maybe someone can help me to make it brighter. I know that the French Renault FT-17 in its various versions was used by several armies during World War 1 and more after the war and also a long time. As far as I know: France USA Spain Poland E...
Missing Lynx has a thread showing a WW1 tank in Berlin 1945. The photo is extremely dark and difficult to make out. I enclose a copy that I've applied some image enhancement on. It appears to be a female Mk V that has been very comprehensively totalled, presumably by a Soviet tank or AT gun. The las...
