#tanktuesday The Challenger 3, is the British Army’s new Main Battle Tank for the future. Along with Ajax and Boxer, it will be at the heart of the Army’s warfighting capability in the Heavy Brigade Combat Teams. Challenger 3 will be a 24-hour, all-weather tank.

Messages in a bottle written by #WW1 Australian soldiers on troopship to Europe in August 1916 found on coast south-east of Perth. Fascinating story! tinyurl.com/5fpaw8uy

Tuesday Tank: a Pz 38(t) at @DasPanzermuseum, but with a catch - it's actually a repainted Swedish Stridsvagn m/41 S-II, a licence-built version of the Czechoslovak TNH from the same time. Does the job, though!👍 #WW2 @Burntime0101 @milmodelscene @USAS_WW1 #TankTuesday

Thank you for supporting me from my hospital bed to the summit of the highest mountain in every 7 continent. I am grateful 🙏🏼

History Made! Massive congratulations to Blesma Member @Hari_BudhaMagar, who just became the first double above-knee amputee to summit Carstensz Pyramid, the tallest mountain in Oceania! 🗻 The Gurkha lost both his legs in an IED blast while serving in Afghanistan.

Tuesday Tank: this sandstone sculpture of a Panzer I is at @DasPanzermuseum in Munster. It was carved around 1936 and stood outside the Richthofen Barracks in Villingen, SW Germany. In 2002, it was given to the museum. @Burntime0101 @milmodelscene @USAS_WW1 #TankTuesday

Excellent session this morning on the @TankMuseum's Online Supporters Day. Great updates from the team, including about the upcoming restoration of King Tiger V2. The pic is when the tank was in The Tiger Collection exhibition at the museum a few years ago. #WW2

Heard of Brander Wald near Aachen? I hadn’t. It was part of the Belgian occupation zone after #WW2 and was used as a Belgian Army training area. They left some tanks including M47 Pattons and an M41 Walker Bulldog! Great clambering for my nephews! #ColdWar

Visited Eben Emael yesterday, the Belgian fort captured by a German glider assault on 10 May 1940. The pics are the main entrance, a casemate of 75mm guns, inside the casemate, and surface damage on an observation dome caused by a 50kg shaped charge that spalled inside. #WW2

Enjoying this month’s @CMVMAG, especially the cover article about a couple of Bedford QLs, part 2 of the restoration of a Flakpanzer Gepard, and the article on building Tamiya’s 1/35 SdKfz 7 20mm Flakvierling anti-aircraft half-track. Loads more in there too 👍

Excellent day at the National Archives today, but nothing about tanks so can’t call it Tuesday Tank! 😂
