Danger, dont park here

Hi Guys this advice is pretty obvious, don't park in front of a TANK

Caught these pics while attending an army open day at Berrimah, NT, it certainly was a good day all round, thought you might get a laugh out of these.

Will post a few different photos later.

In the last picture (squished down), it looks like a Ferrari.

Hi Leon

Hope that wasn’t your vehicle! Is the tank an Abrahams M1 tank – it looks very similar to one I saw in a recent documentary from the USA where it showed a repair and re-fit outfit refurbishing beaten up old tanks into new beaut models.

Those helicopters are the ARH Tiger, a two-seat, attack helicopter. The 30mm cannon slaves to the pilots’ helmet. They can also be armed with rockets and missiles. I’ve only ever seen them on the ground though.

Cheers

Dennis

Aren't they the ones we bought that are so heavy we can't take them anywhere we would need them?
