More like former British firepower there. You could kill somebody with one of those if they sat down right in front of it's gun maybe. I bet that moss growing on them makes really good camouflage. Tess's grandfather drove a tank in Italy in WWII. He had a reputation for throwing a tread every time his tank drove by a bar. Apparently you could trade gasoline for wine at any bar in Italy. I think he must have been the last person to drive the tanks in those pictures.

lol the title made me expect tanks that are slightly less.. rusty. Cool images, thanks for sharing. Was this taken at a military area?

Thanks Norm
Thanks Na Horuk Yes this was in the middle of a Military range. I couldn't leave the main track as there is Unexploded ordnance everywhere.

Ah yes. But great that you had a 500mm lens. When looking at the photos it feels like I'm there

What a great set of photos - it's terrific to see unusual subject well photographed.
