A link at the bottom of the last page gives an insight into how flexable you need to be to get into some armour

Hi, This gives a good insight into what happened to the BEF carriers after Dunkirk, I nfact if you explore further on the site you can see all kinds of captured armour in German use.

Thanks Kevin

I had a quick look and that one did stick out, there's a nice mix of brens, scouts (for Phillip) and the odd early batch MK1.

There's some good early BEF pictures to be found on the ww2 site too.

Default I can't understand......

..... how did we loose so much equipment....... in good shape and still win the war...... hell it could have ended a lot sooner if they did not have our stuff.......

Amazing how many conversion were made to the UC..... and a lot faster than out own system would allow.....

Was Ford selling them under the table to Germany....?

Surprising we had any left to fight with....

Fascinating series of pictures...... really enjoyed it.

Bob
