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

Stephen,

Just looking at the Chieftain photo brought back a memory that the fridge used to be the drivers compartment, I have personally experienced finding frozen meat & two veg whilst being sat in there :shock: :roll: :lol: Paderborn in winter, We Skins where a hardy lot :lol:

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!
