How about this Comet tank in Thetford forest?

Its a tribute to the 7th Armoured Division ( or the desert rats ) who trained here during the war.

Good call, I'd forgotten about that one... though I don't think I'd be doing any clambering...

Cheers,

Whoops.
The chap who restored that shell also has another he wants to get into running order, though I seem to recall he was still looking for a turret.
