I lived in Bovington as a kid, about 100 yards from the Museum; I used to play in the Museum every day.Β As a six-year-old I rode on the gun mantle of this very Tiger one day in 1966.Β We moved to Germany where I used to play on a burned-out Churchill in the woods near where we lived; this photo is like a snapshot of my memory!

Nice photo. The Churchill would be toast, burnt toast.

Reminds me of the line, 'if I had my way, I'd meet Rommel face to face; him in his tank and me in mine. We'd meet out there somewhere... salute each other, maybe drink a toast, then we'd button up and do battle. The winner would decide the outcome of the entire war..."

An excellent shot that shows the differing design concepts between the Brits and Germans.
