Bren / Universal Carriers waiting to be scrapped

Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) women working on a Churchill tank at a Royal Army Ordnance Corps depot, 10 October 1942.


Bit obviously staged.

I love the fake wooden bomb, but sad at the sight of all those Universal Carriers waiting to be scrapped.

[Raider4]

Aye, very sad. And I've read stories of British carriers on their way home from the Pacific dumping all of their lend-lease US aircraft (e.g. Corsairs) over the side, because the Americans didn't want them back and we weren't allowed to do anything else with them (sell on or scrap).

Love the dummy bomb on the dummy airfield.
To think they risked their lives just for the joke brilliant.

An Ottoman supply train still resting where it was ambushed by Lawrence of Arabia 104 years ago on the Hejaz railway

Interesting they ambushed it so close to what I assume is a station

They would be worth a fortune if someone had kept a few back.

When I've played WW2 board games and you can stack various units on top of each other on the same hex, somehow, this is not what I had in mind.

A carrier "carpark"?  OK whose being playing Flames of War???

Typical Germans, always overreacting
No need for a sign saying
Caution !
Risk of death

Almost as good as the Panther hit by several 60 lb rockets on it's back  sign says - "Remove engine before starting"

[Techno II]

I like the 'Getty images' stenciled on the bottom one.....That's been done very neatly. 

Cheers - Phil.

Not talking to yourself Nobby !
