Tiger Tag

[Ian Simpson]

Hi All

Last saturday at the UK tank museum was Tiger day when they let the Tiger 1 tank out into the arena with some other tanks for a drive around.

... namely John Cleese: Oh you bast...

You lucky sod, I envy you Ian, that is one sight I would love to have seen - maybe someday. Thanks for sharing with us and yes, ladies and gentlemen, these are the genuine colours for an African Tiger, taken from the paint left in the bottom layer.

Cheers,

Hi Jens
There is another Tiger day planned for the 22nd September but as a stop gap measure I did get a short bit of video. Hopefully the link will work for all those interested.

Thank you Ian,

nice to see the old beast in action again - military machines surrounded by anoraks, are we not a sorry lot? But I hear trainspotters are even worse...

Cheers,

Jens O.
