Tankfest videos - Tiger.

I done a youtube..
It takes forever so I only uploaded one vid taken by my brother of the somewhat legendary 'Tiger 131' pulling away at Tankfest this year, got a few tiny clips of crusader, 251, hetzer, matilda etc. chugging about so I'll try and upload 'em too.
Hopefully this link will take you there,


Cheers,
Adam.


Edit: Just adding the complete list as I go:

Adam,
Whilst you were doing that I was over by the re-enactors.
My photos here, for those who didn't see them before.

My brother spent ages stood right in front of the thing in the pouring rain waiting for it to move. I was on a bank behind chatting to my old man;
"No, I don't think it's on a rise. It really is that big."
Dad then met a bloke who'd flown over from Spain in the morning with his family just to see it and was then flying home that afternoon..
Dedication.

Great Photos of that Tiger...I'd even settle for a ride in that fiberglass mock up from Saving Private Ryan.

Put a load more on, they really are just very small clips taken with a normal digicam but might be of interest, youtube does seem to degrade somewhat from the originals, but I'm probably just doing something wrong.:


YouTube - tiger (as above)
YouTube - Tiger again
YouTube - Tiger Backing Up (good view of some of 131's battle damage)
YouTube - Smokey Valentine
YouTube - Matilda
YouTube - Matilda2
YouTube - Crusader
YouTube - M5
YouTube - sdkfz 250
YouTube - Sdkfz251d
YouTube - sdkfz 251
YouTube - PzJgr 38t. (Hetzer... or is it?)
