Dear All, today I would like to share again something I just bought for my collection. It is a farewell present to German Captain from his comrades. Among other things the treaty of Versailles forbid tank troops for the German Reichswehr. But a small troop called the "Kraftfahrtruppe" (m...
I've noticed that the 'yesterday' channel is showing the series 'Tank Overhaul' at the moment - the paper decribed this as 'an awesomely specialist interest program'. I saw several of them a while ago when it was on one of the other channels - it really is close to tank nerd nirvana. 'Yesterday' is on fr...

What is this, and why are there two different...

I was in Games Workshop with my son today, and while there my eye was caught by the display of tanks for the Warhammer 40k game series. Not because I'm interested in playing but because it's clear that in 40 thousand years time all the lessons of armour design of the last 90 years will have been lost and for...
Dear All, I would like to share with you my latest purchase for my collection. It is a Russian AC, captured by Germans (Bavarians). The amazing thing is: look at the tires. Never seen such tires before. Does anyone have some information about it? Cheers Chris

A number of Albions were fitted out as specialist ambulances at the time (including mobile dentists' surg...

A fantastic time had by all and we put on a high quality, accurate and respectfu...
