TIGER ? !

[Steve Stuart]

Fiona and I were driving back to Oxford early this afternoon from the Bike Show in Birmingham, the Traffic approaching the M40 interchange at Wendlebury was jammed up solid, as usual, heading north bound on the A34. When I caught a glimpse on a low loader in that traffic as we sped past southwards, what I am sure was a Tiger Tank!
The Tank was painted in Dunklegelb and the Turret had an open loaders hatch, the running gear was a blur, but something about it slightly jarred, and the rear plate had twin exhaust shrouds, and then my eyes were firmly back on the road.
An I imagining things? Did anyone else see what I saw? Plus does anyone else have any idea about what I might have seen? It was all so fleeting and I definitely have no pictures!
Please put me out of my confusion
Regards
Steve

I've been told they are filming a war movie here in the South, could have been part of the set perhaps?

That fits, a Tiger for the filming at Blenheim. As the Director said on South Today, we will have to wait for the film to be released.
The question is then, is this a replica or has Kevin Wheatcroft got a deal further on building up a Tiger from parts?
I have previously thought that Blenheim Palace would be a great place to run Tanks, however Tank tracks on the manicured lawns might not go down a bundle?
