An Old WWII Soviet Tank Blocked My Drive.

We were coming home from Kings Lynn shopping center today and my drive was obstructed by a lorry and trailer carrying a huge old Soviet T-34 type tank. Like one of those used at the Battle of Kursk in 1943.

The Lorry had just pulled out of a driveway that runs along the railway line. It goes out into the fields by the River Nene. There is a yard there with several tanks. The work that occurs here involves renovating old pre-War vehicles. When finished they are taken away to various collectors here there and everywhere. Perhaps even drama studios. 

The lorry finally moved passed and I was able to go into my drive as my wife, Carole, quickly photographed the tank. It looked splendid and very retro. 

British Army Terrier

The new British Army Terrier, looks like a tank, but is a high-tech RC digger. It is quick and effective at digging and the British Army has bought a large number of them. This huge piece of machinery can be remote controlled. There are about 60 of these new vehicles at a cost of £360 million.

I'm not sure how or when they will be used, but I would suppose they could rapidly dig defensive trench works. There must also be other things too, that military people would have a better understanding of.
