HFF from Normandy ~ France

Well that's a different HFF photo! There looks to be a smiling emoji on the front end of the tank, but calling a spade a spade, it's probably more serious altogether. Please join the HFF and add this to the group, dear Nick, and let me know the name of your new addition.

Hi dear LGM This is the sort of tank I like, unusable! The addition remains nameless at present. I seem to remember that it took quite a while for Finn to be named. I wish you a not too hot w/end Thanks for suggesting that I add this shot to the group HFF which I have now done :)

For some reason I thought a sister for Finn was expected,

My fault for grasping at straws :)

The tank of spades! :-) HFF and a happy weekend, Nick!

Oh yes ~ Ver good :~) Hanwe

That's an interest picture Nick. A relic from WWII and well painted and on show. One of many I guess. Nice little fence too :-)
HFF and wish you a good and hopefully cooler weekend ~ Rosa.

Hi Rosa ~ Yes a relic now and you are right there are man relics in this part of France ~~~
Thanks for your good wishes, I hope they work :) All the very best to you & Hanwe

Thanks for suggesting that I add this shot to the group HFF which I have now done :)

Is that one of those tanks that were used to clear landing areas of land mines? I've seen footage of some of those in old news reels, and it looks a bit like them.

It could be Marco ~ we call them flail tanks and yes they clear the way ahead of mines ~~~

Great colours and a fine capture Nick
HFF and a good weekend

Thanks Roger

Memories... HFF Nick

yes this Dandy of a tank, would have given the girls something to titter over

The tank looks very well presesrved Nick. A grand exhibit and a good reminder of the past, although like you I am pleased to know it isn't in working order.

HFF and have a good week ahead

Thanks Carole ~ Hanwe

A pretty little tank; just how I like them!

Oh you naughty man you ~ but I like you :~)

This is the best place for tanks- as an out of use museum piece:-) Belated hFF and a good weekend!

Agreed ~ Thanks for your good wishes ~Hanwe

A little fence but a huge memory here. Thanks for sharing.

Belated HFF here, enjoy the weekend . Herb

Hi Herb ~ who want want to be in one of these other than to try to impress the girls?

It surely reminds us of the ruthless times of World War II, namely in Normandy! Belated HFF, NIck!

They were very sad times!

Hi Nick
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, but unsure which is the front..!
And no jokes about the tanks from certain countries having two forward speeds and six reverse. The forward speeds are only in case they get attacked from behind..)
Best Wishes, slightly late HFF, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
Peter

Lots of laughs

very good

thank you Trudy

Leuk klein Tankje
