Some more #TankTuesday stuff for you - this time from 2007, which was themed 'All-American Armour' (but I had to include the Comet in this little montage). I think this was the last time we punters were able to get up this close to the action as by the next event, the barriers were in place

It's been a while since I've done #TankTuesday - all the way back to 2006's TankFest which was a very wet one from memory. Note this was in the old arena, where you felt much more up close and personal (I really dislike the Kuwait arena as you're too far away now)

Oh, and forgot to add this one - G3 Ops had this 2 tone scheme for about 12 hours before the RSM went nuts - so the crew had to use magnolia on theirs too. That’s me & my Bessie mate in front. This image appeared in a military modelling magazine later in 1990…
