![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Great stuff 51H, particularly nice to see what looks like an unstaged 'in action' shot, and pictures of the armoured bulldozers can be few and far between too. (& thanks for this flow of film and images from you recently, all quality stuff & most enjoyable )Cheers, Adam.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | He does indeed .The A30 Challenger is another relative photographic rarity, particularly in such a clear 'activity' shot. Are these all from the unpronouncable area mentioned above?

![]() ![]() | Yes all from St Michiels Gestel, Holland. The gentleman who sent them to me (as well as the video of 51st HD moving through) has them in his collection. He was a 10 year old boy at the time and now a amateur historian, Not sure as to where he got them from. They are originals as I saw them when I was in Holland in May this year. As promised he has sent me copies, bless him.
