Hi Kevin,

Nice pics!

Any chance of a bigger sized picture of number 27?
The Windsor's towing 6 Pr's. Did you read the caption by the way? It says "6 inch"anti tank guns

Thanks,

Marc, Go to http://www.airlandsea.info/2008_08_10_archive.html

If you click on the polish pictures posted here on MLU, when the picture opens in the window, click on it again and go 400%.

Found the following picture, just a reminder of what these machines are really about.

kev.

I am a firm believer that the Polish are an unsung army for ww2 dispite their efforts all over the globe ! Kev have you considered badging up your latest Mk1 as a polish regiment ?

Nasty pic that last one. Looks like a shell came through the front, cut the steering wheel and plowed through the poor driver.

But you are right. It is a grim reminder. We need to keep going with this hobby not only to enjoy our beautiful machines but also to show people war is a bloody mess and should be avoided at all cost.

Cheers,

there was a photo doing the rounds a while back with a carrier that had been hit by an 88 right in the center, the carrier was ni-on biforcated front to rear.... the crew would not have stood a chance
