Various equipment photo's for identification and review
 

Hello everyone,

I am submitting some photo's for identification and review for all to enjoy. I would appreciate any comments

Here is another
 

Here is a German tank that has lost its bite.

Another tank
 

Here is another tank, this one in better shape but with a Canadian Engineer sitting on it.

Me109
 

A Messerschmidt that had seen better days.

Rail Gun?
 

Is this one of those huge German Rail guns? Looks like it is sitting on tracks, note the crane chains on the upper left.

Rock Crusher?
 

I am thinking this might be a rock crusher, any ideas, confirmation, or corrections?

All of these photos came from a collection of snap shots that were sent home by my father and uncle who were both in the RCE's

This one reminds me of the CMP 3-tonner with makeshift house type body.
JagdPanzer III
Captured French FT-17 of WWI vintage. Used for airfield defence etc. all over German occupied territory.

Thanks for sharing the pics, Dan!

HTH,
Hanno

Re: Rock Crusher?
 

It looks like a tar sprayer and if not mistaken, the photo is taken from inside a truck body which appears to be carrying grit / gravel to be laid on the tar.

Thats a Stug III, a self propelled assault gun.

Adrian

Tar sprayer
 

I'm with you Richard,

If you look to the left upper corner of the machine you can see a small jib with a tar barrel on it.

Pete

Re: Tar sprayer

Re: Tar sprayer
 

Ah, Pete my lad, I'm sure there's a worthwhile story there... it would doubtless be worth a pint of two to hear the unexpurgated version... :D ;)

Re: Re: Tar sprayer
 

Its no good asking Pete, he does'nt go to Beltring. The only Forum member who witnessed it is here.

Sometimes the secondhand accounts are far more entertaining... :p :p :p

Nothing much to tell, certainly not that entertaining but if you send me a couple of bottles of Jack Daniels I can tell you a story. :cheers:

Correct, StuG III - not JagdPanzer III, it did not even exist. Slip of the keyboard, sorry!

H.

yes, definitely StuG III, observe the SauKopf.
