Mike's had enough, and has issued the mods with tanks!
Here's Sheeny out testing his new tank, I just happened to be driving through Oberon with, as my wife says, is my pap spec camera (5d2 and 70-200 2.8).
So everybody on their best behaviour, or sheeny will be coming around and showing some smooth bore barrelled love to any TOS offenders.

Reason: grammar
There is a swag strapped to the turret. I'd love to know where they were going and what they were up to.
I met some turret-head's at Shoal Water and they were having a competition to see who could stay in/on their tank the longest. It had been seven days and the crew hadn't put a foot on the ground. Just ponder that for a minute......

It's a tent and a tarp.
Its a 1942 Matilda Tank, so we were taking part in the Oberon Steam and Vintage Fair. Just driving out of the Heritage Railway grounds to put the tank on static display at the Footy Club.

Hi Brett,
What do you think of inserting this photo in the Wikipedia entry on the Matilda?
If you consent I'll insert it with Al's text. Along with the General Stuart, the Matilda was a valuable tank in AIF Pacific engagements after Kokoda.
Hmm... if its going to Wikipedia I better check my facts! I was just sprouting from memory what I've always believed was the case, but its 20 something years since I first met the Matilda.
We are going tanking again today, so I'll check. Alternatively, I might be able to get the full spiel on her...
(i.e. wearing the tank commander's headset... and so I couldn't wear my hat as well).
