Moving on to the Tiger family...
One of the Budapest Tiger II's...
Tiger I, the 21st Tiger of 1.Kompanie, sPzAbt.503, beside an isba. This is one of the first production series models.
One of the sPzAbt.505 Tigers has taken up position behind an isba.
This Tiger II from the 2.Kompanie/schwere Panzer Abteilung 506 was captured by American troops and restored to running condition by Company B, 129th Ordnance Battalion by 15 December 1944.

French tank, German markings, American troops, as messed up on the last thread:
And RB, it is indeed a 110 I think, long thin tail, engines on wings, twin tail.

hmmm plane looks like it could be a He. 111, looks like it has the tail of the 111 anyways, you can kind of make out that it isnt a flat tale, and has a dorsal fin on it. hmm...

This is a good one:
WOMEN ON THE HOME FRONT 1939 - 1945
The Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS): ATS working on a Churchill tank at a Royal Army Ordnance Corps Depot. Photograph shows the women guiding the turret into position. Many ATS worked with the newly formed REME on jobs such as this. |

The He-111 is really a Spanish CASA- You can tell by the Rolls Royce engines on the aircraft. The aircraft was photographed in Harlingen Texas, that used to be the home of the Confederate Air Force. I have lots of pictures of their aircraft. The plane also was one of the stars of the movie Battle of Britian.
Sadly, as with so many of their aircraft the CAF wrecked this plane last year and it is no more.
They used to have a number of CASA Me-109's and wrecked all of them too.

Za Rodina - Yeah the CAF did chage its name to the Commemeration Air Force. Probably did it out of political correctness.

5-0-Duce, I think the wings are too large for a 110 and the tail too chunky, plus no fin or dorsal turret.

Ta152 is quite right - it is a photo of the CAF's ill-fated Casa 2-111, a licence-built Heinkel with RR Merlins.
I believe another one of these is to be restored to static condition at Duxford.
