favourite piccie in a military museum/handling military equipment

[petercooman]

So, we all do it, go to military museums to look at the uniforms/tanks/planes/weapns/books in the shop.

But we all have taken our share of pics manning these contraptions, or even real time piccies from chaps who were in the service. Just as a bit of fun, show me your best one!!

As i am asking it only feels fair to upload myself:

Acting like i'm manning an AAgun in the atlantic wall open air museum in Raversijde, Belgium: (look at how young i was, taken at the age of 16!)

Cor those binocular things they have in Belgium look a lot different than the ones we have in the UK

[petercooman]

These have an anti-pidgeon function built in 

[Fenton]

I shall have to try and get there the next time I'm in Belgium

[petercooman]

Really worth it, still some near intact gun emplacements (gun included)

Don't know if you can read dutch  , but here are some pictures:

yup definitely going..not too far from Ieper either

[petercooman]

No it isn't, and fun to run around. I think they have an english tour too. It's with one of those electronic guides. Something shaped like a huge cellphone that contains a speaker giving all the info.

Ben there twice now, never gets boring!

Some more piccies!

Mine is bigger than yours...

This is my wife, Jen, stood on something at a museum in Copenhagen. We're not sure, but it appeared to be a huge set of weighing scales. The room was full of artillery pieces (from cannons to what I think was a Honest John rocket), so we guess it was for weighing cannons



I'm afraid that's the only photo I've got that comes close to what was asked for

Curses!! Foiled again!!

Interesting russel! Do you know what the writing says above the scale?

This is me driving a modified FV432 somewhere in the heart of Leicestershire last summer.



Note the consternation on the instructor's face as we negotiate a huge vat of porage.
