And because I used voyager clamps on one tiger. I used these from AFV. Saved a lot of unsavoury word. Also used thier exhaust flappy things.

There is here, indeed, a demonstration of various kinds of fixes and skills. Yet I especially like Dogberry's advice: "If it fails, make it look like it’s been shot up." :thumbup: :haha:

From September 1943 the Tiger 1 was deemed no longer a deep water Tank and the fitting of the "Flapper Valves" was discontinued.

You know as well as I do that you have had to put in as much research on your beauty :thumbup: as any one of the different variants of the Tiger 1.
