Surviving British Mark 1 Male Tank- Restored WW1 Tank PhotosThe Hatfield Tank
This Mark one tank was originally placed in Lord Salisbury's Hatfield Park just North of London on 8th May 1919 as a 'Presentation Tank' by the Army Council to commemorate the secret tank trials and inspection there by H.M. King George V in February 1916 of the first type of Tank approved for use by the British Army in the Great War. After 50 years at Hatfield Park it was moved to the Royal Armoured Corps Tank Museum 7th May 1969.

I saw this story today and thought of this thread...
German lawyers wrangle over pensioner's WW2 tank in basement
The 84-year-old kept the vehicle in his basement, along with an anti-aircraft gun and a torpedo.www.bbc.co.uk
Which begs the question... how do you get a main battle tank into a basement?
…At some point, someone decided that instead of dealing with the 250kg bomb in the basement they would just fix the roof and floors and pretend it never happened….
You wrote that like it’s a bad thing…
Local media reported at the time that the man made no secret of his weapons collection and even brought the tank out during a bad winter to use as a snow plow.
The German tank aficionado has been handed a €250,000 fine for his troubles, and ordered to sell or give away the tank, as well as an anti aircraft fucking cannon he also possessed
German pensioner given hefty fine for WW2 tank in house
The 82 year old is given a suspended sentence and fined €250,000 (£213,469).www.bbc.co.uk
I am a bit surprised that he's being allowed to dispose of the anti aircraft cannon himself. I am sure a few would-be terrorists wouldn't mind getting hold of that...
I also love this from another report on the issue:
Eat your heart out Dukes of Hazzard.
t to love the Russians. Any professional views on how accurate that main gun would be fired at the top of the air time in the jump? Looks cool AF though…
New old shoes for Big Cat.
just me then with more KILLER content.
After my resounding success on the helicopter thread I had to bring you this for more hilarity.
What japes.
