Hi chaps,I wonder if you can help.I've just built a diorama for MODEL MILITARY INTERNATIONAL,of when Lt Gorman of the Irish Guards used his tank to ram a King Tiger in Normandy.What I'm after is the photo number I need to request at the Imperial War museum webb site,so as to then forward this to the editor.Or any informtion of who else we may need permission from for a copy of the photo.The photos I worked from have all come from modelling webb sites.
Any help would be gratefully received.Matt Edwards

Hi Matt,

If you mean this one, I don't know who has copyright of this pic, it has been around the web;



I don't believe it is in the Imperial War Museum collection, at least I've never seen it there. It appeared in a web article, so if you have that link then perhaps you could track down the owner.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Al
