#TankTuesday
Bought myself a toy on Saturday.
It's not quite the die-cast Centurion I played with in my sandbox, but it gives me a nostalgia hit.

6-pdr Valentine tank T.67003 advancing on a road in North Africa, with a lot of civilian bystanders. It is followed by more Valentine tanks, because there can never be enough Valentine tanks.

It's #TankTuesday, and on this date, there can only be one theme
35 years ago, the ground offensive to liberate Kuwait commenced. We didn't know it was only going to last 4 days - the briefing was to expect a long, hard slog.

No #tanktuesday with #lukenewton this week, I was hoping he'd be in Paris with a new tank look π. We know there would be nothing new for Fashion Friday with #nicolacoughlan as she's working hard π. But this edit captures Colin (open shirt) and Pen's amazing costume so this is how we celebrate!

A black & white photo of a German PzKw 38(t) light tank seen from a raised position at a 2 o'clock angle. The tank is parked facing down into a slight dip in the ground. The background is of a flat training ground. The commander's turret hatch & the driver's visor at the tank's right front are open. A metal pennant to the side of the driver's visor is painted with the Yugoslav flag. On the round armour plate covering the empty hull MG mount, a faded red star is visible. On the turret side we can see the tank's tactical number (555) painted in white as well as a black tank painted in a white circle. The tank is very dusty but is otherwise in good condition. This vehicle is an Ausf. B, built in 1940 then later refurbished to the standard specified for train escort tanks. So we see the circular armour plate covering the hull MG position, the front Notek light relocated from the mudguard to the hull front and the spare track link storage added to the upper front plate. This tank has also been fitted with a stowage bin with a curved top at the rear. This housed a pre-heating device for the engine. Photo source is unknown (random internet find), though likely to be from the same series of photos as the others in this thread, held by Medija centar Odbrana.
After WW2, the Yugoslav Army used lots of AFVs left behind by the Nazis. Among them were a handful of venerable PzKw 38(t) tanks.
Interestingly, it seems these small tanks were taken from German armoured trains captured in Yugoslavia. Two such tanks were assigned to each train.
