Picture Of The Week - No 12 - Panther

Took this picture at a large all day game of 20mm WW2 using the Bolt Action rules just after X-mas.  I had a late entry into the game (I didn't make it until the afternoon), and brought on some reinforcing tanks, one of which was a nice Panther. Here it is engaging a Churchill in the distance, whilst intimidating a Dingo that had ventured too far forward.  Used the camera in my Samsung Galaxy IIIS to take it, and then edit it.

River in Poland yields a Valentine

Vintage tank hunters pulled a Valentine tank from the backwaters of the Warta River in western Poland this past October. Military vehicle collector Jacek Kopczynski of Lodz, led the recovery operation. One of the founders of the Veteran Vehicles Bazaar in Poland, Kopczynski commented a day prior to the successful recovery, “If a person could manage to recover the Valentine, it will be a sensation in the world. This is the first of its kind found in Poland.”
