'Haight Ashbury Pattern' ?

I'd thought "why did they leave the barrel all rusty" before realising it's smoking a fag.

It seems rather inspired by that awful Arnold Bocklin typeface beloved by the Hippy Generation designed in 1904 by Otto Weisert.

Really very 'Panzerish' aren't they.

(By the way Freebird, I'm going to bolt together a 'how to use the forum' thread soonish that should answer any picture posting queries ).

Well, well. I remember reading somewhere that the Sherman track design was superior to the German design in that it was much more reliable and long-lasting. Then those silly Canucks go and copy the German design! And put in on a SHERMAN!

The Firefly at Hechtel (if anyone's over this way) has been temporarily moved to the Army museum at Leopoldsburg for the duration of a road-widening scheme so don't drive around looking for it !

I love that typeface and one of the reasons that I will be shortly visiting Prague is to drool over Mucha paintings and his posters that feature exactly that type of font.

Sorry mate !

Fair enuff, ron.
Have a great time in Prague.
Lovely city, haven't been for over 15 years now.
I hope you are going to take your digital camera and get some WW2 related photos for us too?
