Your pictures inspire me to make a trip to Latrun, where our Armored Corps museum is. It has been decades since we took our kids there; I should go and see what's new (or old).<br />The tanks were so much smaller back in WW2 days. <br />Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1789569855696205497.post-9033396447751623182016-12-20T05:39:07.517-08:002016-12-20T05:39:07.517-08:00Wow!

I know this post was over a year ago but it came up first thing on Google+ ... I guess the message is that I should go back over your archives. You take great pictures!John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1789569855696205497.post-68503553440068580842015-11-02T16:08:23.104-08:002015-11-02T16:08:23.104-08:00I'm reminded of the tanks in our War Museum.

Of course, it also leaves the back so lightly protected you can practically penetrate it with a rifle, but hey -- with all that speed and strength in front, you don't do much retreating. <br /><br />I love the way the Russians think. (Since I don't have to make any of their schemes work.) <br /><br />Robin<br />Rusty Ring: Reflections of an Old-Timey HermitRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08522501894058291952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1789569855696205497.post-26139641737820027942015-01-22T00:28:06.918-08:002015-01-22T00:28:06.918-08:00No butthen he was on reserved occupation as a nurs...No butthen he was on reserved occupation as a nurse but I have heard that name somewhere else.
