Very interesting article.

It seems "Julian" the tank did the rounds because my home town Swindon also had a gist.

Here are a couple of interesting links.

This one has a short video ( the last one on the page)

Seems our town was doing well back in the old days with plenty of manufacturing industry which this country has seen vanish over the years.

Happy modelling
