Down some dirt track in Normandy, moving towards the front, a Troop of Churchill AVREs from the 5th Assault Regiment RE, British 79th Armoured Division.
For those in the know – I got within one digit on those little blue Arms of Service numbers (w/multipart decals). BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE >>>>>>>> Ever since the War, we've read that the Churchill AVRE fired [launched] a 290mm mortar bomb – how wrong that's been - YouTube link The loading was through a modified hull hatch, where the crewman barely exposed his arm in the process - YouTube link |
