Public Tanks

Ah, tanks, you've seen one, you've seen them all

 

There is the T-34 in Bermondsey

I quite like this shot below, not sure why, must have a subliminal message in it (image nicked from someone's avatar)
Also there's a tank just south of Ancaster but never remembered it in time to get a good look.

I think I've found a photo of the tank you mentioned:

Used to shoot past this on the way to Metheringham in Lincolnshire, something to do with Ancaster Paintball.
Looks...er...'modern' to me?

 

Had forgotten this thread. A couple from Holland last week.

Sherman at Woensdrecht.

 

Sherman Flail minus the Flail at Westcapelle.

 

I keep meaning to visit the WW1 mk.IV parked in the street at Ashford, Kent, but haven't done. I believe it's been used as an electricity substation in it's time...

As a young boy I can remember travelling by train to Windermere station and walking with my parents down to Bowness.

On the left hand side of the road, when walking down the hill, there was a small area set aside with seats and an old WW1 Tank on a concrete plinth.

It was still there until the early 1960's I think and then it disappeared.

I have no idea where it is located now.

This is quite near where we live and we walk the dogs around it a few time a year. There is a walk with arrows and information on camp life and you can see the road and walkway network and the building foundations. The also have a nissan hut restored and a there is a caravan site next door.

Thanks for posting, wowtank, made a visit myself a couple of years ago, but the weather was awful, and pics came out even worse
