Thanks for sharing these photos. Great things there and good pictures too! That Stug looks great. Also sorry i missed seeing that Japanese tank actually go. What does it sound like (a two stroke FS1E?)?

I didn't get to see (or hear) it either. The Stug was probably one of the coolest things there…it really looked great in the airbrushed camo. One thing that surprised me was the speed of the Matilda 1 which went whizzing round the track like a turbo powered shopping trolley! I thought they were meant to be as mobile as bricks.

Martin, here is a video of the Japanese tank moving around link

Found some more photos hiding on the hard drive including a Trojan AVRE parking a broken down Centurion:

Great photos and thanks for sharing!

We are working on Arras 1940 so the Matilda I and II pics are very timely – Matilda I is a interesting little tank, but I am very glad I never had to ride in one!

PS very cool-looking tanks – especially like comparing the turret slope on the Churchill VII with that of the Centurion's
