Many thanks, Carl!. You've not been much in evidence lately, and so I hope life is treating you well

Have a great Christmas, if at all possible!
I guess it's pretty much 'Journey's end' for this project. No doubt many have thought that, and then dusted the cobwebs off, years later.

But for now, that's it.

It was also pretty much Journey's end for this recce Cromwell, near the Bahnhof, in Hamburg I note that there's a Challenger (elongated Cromwell with a 17-Pounder) just behind the Cromwell. The 17-Pounder Challengers were there to support Cromwells, in the event of a Tiger turning up...

David Doyle bought out many of the books from the library of the defunct Squadron/Signal. I have bought some of the German language ones (and one in Polish with a German title fooled me

). Now I am reading and looking carefully through
Britische Panzer from the 1970s (that was just yesterday, as I recall). So now I can appreciate your Cromwell more and more.

Great photo - the challenger looks appealing as a next project Roy

I always enjoy your unique contributions, Prof
Adam... no way!.

I'd like a Churchill to add to the Comet, Cromwell, and Firefly I"ve built-
if I ever have the years, and the folding to do another 'flatpack'; but detours into Matilda, Crusader,and Challenger territory will have to be strictly off-limits.
Hmm..as I recall, one of our Dutch members was working on the Challenger and making a good job of it.
