It is called The Kugelpanzer ("spherical tank")
It was a German-made vehicle that was shipped to Japan
It was a light reconnaissance vehicle
It was captured in 1945 by the Soviets in Manchuria
It is now at the Russian Kubinka Tank Museum in Kubinka, just outside Moscow.

What was the name of the B-17 escorted back to the coast by a Me109, after it was damaged during a bombing raid over Germany?

Thanks Karl! OK try this one. The Magazine Lee Metford was the immediate 19th Century predecessor of the famous Short Magazine Lee Enfield (best bolt action battle rifle EVER!) Some Lee Metfords were used in the opening stages of WW1 before being replaced with the SMLE but around 1500 Metfords were given a new lease of life in the early part of WW2. How were they utilised and where?

Good guess but not this time!! The 'salutation' in the question post is a sort of clue!

Charlton Automatic Rifle, designed by a New Zealander, Philip Charlton in 1941 to act as a substitute for the Bren and Lewis gun light machine guns which were in chronically short supply at the time Rob Nolli Illigitimi Carborundum!!!Current Builds: HMS Victory, SV Thermopylae

Well done Rob, spot on! These bolt action rifles from the 1890's were converted by welding a steel tube from the forward end of the barrel back to a redesigned breech and bolt which transferred some of the gas from the fired cartridge to force back the bolt, ejecting the spent brass and loading the next cartridge by an enclosed spring action. Even the long deleted long range volley sight was utilised, becoming the fire selector arm which could be turned from Off (safety on) to single auto (like the Garand) to full auto. They could either use the standard 10 round enfield magazine creating a sort of B.A.R. substitute or a slightly converted upside down 30 round Bren magazine which made it look just like an AK47! A brilliant piece of work to get around the lack of light machine guns as you said! Over to you now!
