Something the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus used in their clown acts?

Less Heath-Robinson or Barnum & Bailey, more Messr's Carden & Loyd. It is a Carrier, Machine Gun, Mk VIa undergoing trials by driving over a wheeled teeter-totter. That two wheeled bogie could be fitted with tracks and a pull bar and towed.

Hey Owen, you beat me while I was looking for a picture of the trailer...

Bod, you gave the better explaination so I reckon you get it.
Have you noticed not many people joining in here?
Think it's a bit hard for the non-nerds??

Recently some more have had a go, thanks T.A. and Slipdigit.. But it is too hard even for the nerds sometimes. It is no fun if it does not present a challenge. I apologise if I have raised the bar. The vast majority of these vehicles can be identified by applied, intelligent Googleing, that is all I do. Experience can be gained quickly that way. Patience is the key.

OK an easy one..

Think you should apologise for smugness rather than anything else.
I've used up most of the killers in all those years of 'name that tank' by email.

German artillery observation ball from Kubinka, site's down so I can't check designation (don't think it had one anyway, much conjecture on it.)

Could be a good sign Kubinka site's down, might be getting tarted up?

Isn't it bloody annoying when a picture comes up that I was looking at a few days ago and can't remember where I saw it?
That armoured ball, only saw that the other day now can't remember where.

OK I apoligise for being smug too :-)

Good timing that the Kublinka site is down, eh!
From what I remember of the sketchy information it was just called 'ball tank', (Kugelpanzer) German construction, captured by the Soviets from the Japanese in Manchuria. Funny to think that one of these was transported by U-boat along with A-bomb technology and Me 262 engines...

Your turn.. I promise that if you post a 'killer' from the old days, I won't play. That's if I recognise it.
