Picture of the day

[AP]

I think we are seeing tanks that are high centred rather than thrown tracks.

Could be .... but if it (top tank) hasnt thrown a track .... it has a serious case of ‘toe-in’.

I am wondering if that is some of Rommel's Asparagus in the near background there. Would sort of be an odd place in the middle of what looks to be a field, for them to be utility poles.

The line beside the ditch would seem to indicate a new excavation.

Anti-tank mine.

The main gun has been removed - engineering vehicle?

 

[fraserdw]

The main gun has been removed, looks like the gun port has been welded over w/misc. steel armour plates.

Armoured ammo carrier. This was a typical field mode of an earlier model, removing the gunnery triples the ammo storage, two of these can triple the engagement time for a 6 gun battery and deliver ammo under fire.

Or a hell of a garden shed.

This particular StuG III Ausf G belonged to a post war Danish mine clearing group called Minenkommando Dänemark.

If ever an aircraft lent itself to the shark's mouth motif, it is the P-40.

Kinda works on a P-38 too.

I bet that's a Sunderland instead of a Stirling. Way too much room and the wrong shape for a slab sided Stirling.

 

[Dark Alley Dan]

Dang! The ol' Ketts make solid snow machines. I imagine they just reflexively turn west all the time. though...

 

[XRCD011]

^ Snow, mud...........its all good. A fine piece of German (over) engineering. That clack, clack, clack of the track and drive sprocket is the same for the Demag D7 and Sd.Kfz.250/251.

Render of cross section of Short Stirling.I think above picture is from some other bomber,just not Stirling.Still,plenty of room.

Then again,there is an aft section with illumination flare chutes.

 

[fat tony]

Man I would want to be far away if one of those flash bombs accidentally went off. Does anyone know if the Stirling typically carried flash bombs?

or a stuka

Nah. On Stuka it looks like a 'Happy Face'. On a P-40 it looks like it wants to eat you.

Kinda works on a P-38 too.

Meh.
