    Came across this footage searching for stuff in another thread.

    Tanks aplenty, no sound, but if you know anyone who had/has a relative who went through 52 Training Regiment Royal Armoured Corps have a look (for starters) at reel 7.

    Plenty of close-ups of faces. Someone may recognise one of their family members.

    Here's the link, have a read of the descriptions for content pointers.

    TANK BATTLE RUSHES [Allocated Title]

    Kind regards, always,

    Jim.

    P.S. Adam; tons of engineering stuff. Models, simulators etc. But stay away from the lead paint painting if you've got a fag on :)

    Reel 8. Table models with moving vehicles operated by magnets beneath. The forerunner of Michael Bentine's "Potty Time"!

    A mate is hovering over buying their panther.

    A well-heeled mate.
    Obviously.

    Armortek models are superb. They invariably attend Tankfest. Look out for Stephen White's Centurion: amazing build with all the extras! (build log viewable on the Armortek website)

    Thanks for posting that, Jim.

    The creator is a good guy, and his videos could always use more views. (Disclaimer: I support him on Patreon and I did two chats about the Archer on his channel.)

    So many threads that this could go in, which says it all.

    Kind regards, always,

    This comes from reddit, a while back:

    "M4A2 Sherman without wheels and suspension mounted on a float and used as a patrol boat on the Rhine by the French Forces maritimes du Rhin. Built in 1954 and in service until the organisation was disbanded in 1966 "
