What brilliant photos. Thanks for posting.

Now this is what I call progress. I asked for twenty years to have a barbeque table welded to the top of my tank. Just the job for a brew and some bacon butties........or even a few bevvies. I assume they've stowed the deck chairs while on the move. Has the H&S bloke done a risk assessment?

Best regards

John,
Great photos, thanks for posting. That Chally II is looking a lot like a land battleship with all the reactive armor on it. Is that a BBQ table <as Stephen suggests> or runway marker lights for the helicopter landing pad on the top turret?
Great pix all!
Bob
