Clearing the way for Monty (2 Viewers)

Seeing the Pic of you with the Grant, makes ya realise how hellish it must have been, being stuck in one, when Jerry & co were throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at ya.......frightening stuff{sm2}

Thanks for posting Duke.

Thanks and yes must have been terrifying to be in one in the heat of battle.

You’re not wrong Toddy and coupled with the 50+ degree North African heat that the tankies had to endure inside the Grant, it just goes to show how brave those blokes were.

Tom

They certainly were.

Great work as usual Duke, a fine scene and you gotta love the Grant.

Nice story re the Tankie too. Those guys had some stones to fight in those things and we owe them a grest deal.

Rob

Thanks for that Rob and we do all of them a great deal.

Well done . Very nice dio . Love the worn look of the tank. I don't think however that Monty would have been so close to the actual detecting and digging up of the mines
I add a picture of the Grant on display in the Brussels Military museum

Thanks Guy, the tank is from Figarti and done very nicely on the weathering. You are right about Monty wouldn't be so close to the mines, but hey I had to fit him in to the pictures{eek3}:smile2:

Very well done as usual Duke. The photo of you with the Grant appears to be the same one they have at the Imperial War Museum. I will hunt for the photo I have. Maybe Rob knows if they're the same.

Thanks Brad. Yes that is a picture of me at the Imperial War Museum last summer. I have an old picture of the Bovington Grant, but can't find it at this time.
 
Sorry Duke, I read your post too fast. Figarti's version of the Grant is based on the one at the IWM.
