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.

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.

Great pix Tribunus!

I love that little fake tank, hilarious!

As for your question, here is my answer...

a) It is the one and only, failed, prototype of the Fokker powered shopping-trolley.

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

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.

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.

Don't feel bad mate.

Looks like a great trip Tribunus. And great photos!
