Hotel De Draak is still there, the Ram OP isnīt. . .

By the way, De Draak (The Dragon) is the oldest hotel in the Netherlands. How old? Well, it was one of only two buildings which survived the great fire of 1397. . .

Pic with my phone taken last July when I was there and happened to recall that location. Although the town square is quite large, all the medieval roads leading to it are narrow. It must have taken quite some effort to get all those vehicles there, and I canīt see the reason why, other than to show that one has taken posession of the town.

I believe this photo is also of the same line up from the first photo. Except that the RAM OP has now moved up to be in line with the other tanks and the jeeps have moved.

Nice photo Jordan. I think the Ram OP in this line up is a different one. It has spare tracks all over while the one on front of the Hotel De Draak has not.

The M7 covered with a tarp is the same Kangaroo as in post#1.

Ah, that first picture. Obviously I was comparing it with the famous pic of the Ram OP in front of Hotel De Draak.

So there were at least two Ram OPs.

The Priest Kangaroo in the pics above seem to be the same one - look at the dented LH fender.
