Wow, and it took you eight years to know that!

Hey give me a break, I can't spend all my time snooping the net for current events. Guess I won't post the recovery of a WWI British tank that was buried either.

I just hope they don't paint out the German crosses and paint on spurious markings when they display this tank. That's one of my pet peeves. I really hate when they do that. They should leave tanks and planes in the markings they come in.

Yes, there's no need to politically correct this example by removing the marks, although I'm sure some Russians would like to repaint it with Soviet markings.
