I got mocked on a FB group the other week because I mistook a Cromwell for a Comet. Clearly there's still hope for me.
Sorry Steve, it was actually a mate who posted pics of a visit to an airfield museum on his timeline. He posted a pic of a Hurricane (I think?) with a Comet next to it, and I said "is that a Cromwell". Two different folk corrected me. Got mocked mercilessly, since I can't even get them the right way round when I'm trying to relate it.
my problem is modern AFV/IFV s ... i cant id them, for me they are all same ... no problem with ww2 Iron toys !!!
I dunno...most AFVs have their own "shape"...they aren't as "sexy" as tanks so don't get the air time...so are usually new to me when I see them.
Duxford? Definitely? The Duxford Gate Guardian Comet has a totally spurious Census Number and is missing its turret rear box because someone decided to have a go at some pyrotechnics....no prizes for guessing what happened next. The Duxford display Comet, in Hall Number 'can't remember off the top of my head' is marked up properly...in fact I 'reunited' that tank with a former crew member a few years ago.
