War and Peace also has one of the biggest Militaria markets and if you own a historic vehicle you can find pretty much anything here. Its a fascinating place to explore and its like walking though a museum where you can handle the exhibits and, if you have deep pockets, own a bit of history.

Great photos of some rare tanks. Isn't that "Sherman" used for target practice a Canadian "Ram" tank?
ReplyDeleteNice collection. But I always find people in civilian clothes on the tanks to be a BIG distraction.
ReplyDeleteI would really have liked to see a Dukw, or a LVT4 (Buffalo). We all have out own preference of course and the Valantine DD was a treat.
That range target is an ultra rare Canadian Ram tank
ReplyDeleteSome excellent pictures, partly making up for the fact that I couldn't go!
