Not really fair

Very useful comparison photograph, the vital difference is in the size of the turret ring.  The bigger it can be, the heavier the gun.  The big tracks on the Churchill are a throwback to World War I.

True, but it also had probably the best cross-country performance of any world war 2 tank, with the possible exception of the T34. It wasn't fast but it could climb mountains!

Frequently in reverse, I believe...

Great photos chap!

but blimey the years have been kind to you!

You think so?

I weight 2 stone more than then, I'm climbing at least 4 grades lower than I used to (which may have something to do with the extra weight  , most of my hairs' fallen out and what's left is a lovely shade of snowy silver!

On the up side I do still ahve all my own teeth, a faithful dog, an excellent camper van and a wife who indulges my passion for history and lets me buy lots of shiny metal. 

But sometimes I miss the heady days of the early 1990's when I was younger, fitter, healthier and a lot poorer.

Well my hair is much much shorter, if not receding too, and salt and pepper grey...
I am a stone and a half lighter than two years ago, but that's still 4 stone heavier than my uni days!
But I too have a lovely wife who begrudgingly accepts the lead pile. No dog, two girls and a cat.
I miss those 90s days too, still only climb at S, and still have no money (mostly because of the lead pile)!
