Hi All, ???????? Do'es anyone know of any French Library/Achieve that is online and would have information on FT 17 SP's made after the war. ???????????????????????????????????????????? THE OLD LANCER
Cry for help. Anyone know when the Canon d'Infanterie de 37 mod?le 1916 actually entered service with the French? To the month, if possible. Or three months. Much obliged.
I've read about German machine gunners using armour piercing K bullets on British tanks. Can everyone confirm this? Is there any pictures or references I could use? Thanks Andrew
Hello Everyone, I was reading a thread about D17, when I noticed someone posted that D company did not use grenade roofs? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks, Andrew
I was wondering if anyone has any information about H Battalion at Flesquieres? Maybe crew numbers, tank names and whether they were males or females? ? Thanks again! Andrew
Gywn Evans sent me a great source for the H company tanks on this site, but it's missing whether these tanks were male or female: Harrier H7Hong Hong H23Harvester?H4Huntsman H8 Does anyone know if these tanks were male of Females? Thanks!
No, it's not the latest edition of Commando magazine. I've read several times (including on the FSU site) that "in 1930 France 'sacrificed' her 90 remaining Mark V* tanks at Geneva." One wonders how this might have been done, since I now discover that the Disarmament Conference was held b...
Two emoticons for this because there's two of us who are baffled.? This was brought to my attention by munkeezulu, and it's utterly bizarre. Attached is a photo from my files showing Mark IV Male 4056 at Brie Bridge?after being lost to the German advance in?March 1918.? So far so good. Here is a link to a...
this is CPO Hill, of 20 Squadron RNAS. He was the driver of Mother on the demonstration in Hatfield Park on january 26 and february 2 1916, and gave King George V a ride on feb 8. Further whereabouts of CPO Hill are not known to me but I think he deserves a place on this forum, doesn't he? (source: AFV in Profi...
Not about the men in the trenches this time, but behind. The picture shows, I think the discrepancy felt by most fighting men, especially the lower ranks, between 'us' and 'the brass'.
This is the Airfix Mk I converted to a Mk II supply tank. It is base coated with Tamiya XF-52 Flat Earth. It is still far from done but it is getting there. I hope you all like it so far.
Hi all, as it's mainly about men in uniform we're writing about, this picture of WRNS, inspected by the King, their commanding officer Dame Katherine Furse and First Sealord Sir Eric Geddes. Kieffer
an interesting aspect of designing I think are the mock-ups. I don't know if any small scale model maker ever brought a mock-up kit on the market, or if there are modellers who worked on it. A bit philosophical, scaling a 1:1 model back to let's say 1:72... Pictures of: a gun carrier MkII with gun, a never...
The kit for the British H/D ambulance is almost ready I am waiting for the etch details.I am now trying to sort out details for the tranfer set,apart from the Red Cross roundels does anyone know of any other markings that can also be included? ie unit markings etc.
Although I'm not a modeller, I'm currently quite engaged in gathering detailed information about WWI weaponry, because I'm involved in coding a WWI mod for a computer game. In doing so, I checked several existing WWI computer games (no reliable sources, I know), read specialist literature dealin...
Some recent additions to my collection. Unfortunately, nothing on the reverse of either postcard. Original 3244 x 2064 size image Original 3260 x 2092 size image
This is Rodolphe in, judging from the tie, the 1970s, by which time he would have been in his early- to mid-80s. Haven't so far found any pics of him in his Tank-designing days.
Hello,?I was wondering if anyone knew the answers to these stumpers??1. how many tanks did the British D company start with at Flers and what were they left with at the end of the battle??2. Does anyone know who was in D company: officers, tank names, tank numbers and whether they were male or females??...
