Mk? "Boadicea"
Permalink   


Are you sure it is F.41, given the "Boadicea" on the unditching beam? If it is F.41, then I'll point out that it is Fray Bentos II which was captured at Cambrai, not the famous Fray Bentos (I) that was involved in a three-day siege in August 1917.

Mk IV male, BTW.

We had a discussion about this on the forum already. - It is F.41, obviously the second tank to carry this callsign, but there is no name visible on the tank. So, 'Fray Bentos II' is not backed by visual evidence. - The unditching beam has been added to the vehicle after capture in order to make it look complete.

Yes, I concur with MZ on this (and indeed on many thingsbiggrin). The tank is definitely F41 Fray Bentos II, serial 8019.

Somewhere a bit cold & they don't look like British uniforms to me.

The tank is F.41, the location is the Berlin Zoo, and the officers (well, those not German) belong to the Swedish Army.
