Tribunus Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 4 of 14 Moving outside, there is a small display of vehicles and artillery. Unlike the inside of the museum, there was no display of equipment used by the mighty Egyptian Army. But unlike the inside, there was a good size display of equipment used by the United Kingdom.

Tribunus Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 10 of 14 The British chose to bury their men as they were found on the battle field, together with their Mates. As you walk around, you find where these men fought to the last together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyKnight Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Great pix Tribunus! I love that little fake tank, hilarious!

delta7 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Very moving , thanks for posting I think its a hurricane as well One point is that the german panzer crews also wore the death head as part of their uniform , many removed it to avoid comparison with the SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squawk Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Great pic's Tribunus. Always good to see that the things that need to be remembered, are. As for the aircraft question... Im going to have to go out on a limb and say as Spit Vc(2) the short nose does look like a Hurri, but without the lower engine cowl/spinner, its hard to say.

1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted November 30, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks Trib. On closer inspection, what looks like outward retracting undercariage and wing bulges above the cannon can be made out - a dead giveaway for a Spit although the nose and wing thickness looked Hurri.
