HMMMM lets see...£40 in US currency is about $80 and 10-20% commission comes to about..oh..uh..er, Thanks Capt. I'd like to own that one but I don't think I can get my wallet to give up that many skins, at least not until my children are through with college.
Did the large tracks translate into goodly sized crew compartments?
On an aside, when did the UK quit using spherical projectile weight equivalents (
for lack of a better term) for gun size and start using bore diameter itself when descibing large guns? e.g. 6 pdr for a 57mm gun?
