Default Tank Engines

In 1995 I was at a 50th aniversary parade in Brisbane Australia, commemorating end of WWII, officially called VP day, meaning Victory in the Pacific. Used to be VJ as in Victory over Japan, but political correctness and all that... There was a single (modern) tank there which was shut down at time of my arrival. Following a minutes silence, the parade started and the tank was fired up to participate. Despite it being just the one vehicle, the sound and vibration through the entire area was just INCREDIBLE. The ground literally throbbed, shop windows rattled and the lid on a post box over 20 feet away clanged madly. That was an experience I will always remember. Spectacular!

Can't imagine what all those tanks in your photos must have sounded like.
