Hi all
I recently paid a visit to Saumur museum and got 3 walkarounds of the British Conqueror, the French Batignoles-Chatillon and the Iraqi YW701.







Enjoy the visit

Thanks Olivier, Conqueror - one of my favourite vehicles mainly as when I was a young boy one was permitted to clamber all over them at the various military displays that were wide-ranging back in the 60s. The antidote to the Soviet heavy tank threat - marvellous! Nice to see that Saumur have given it a decent display spot, as opposed to Bovington where it is tucked away, shamefully in a dark corner.

The Batignoles-Chatillon is very interesting too - almost in a MASSTER scheme; just the sort of model Bold Division might come up with perhaps?

Thanks again,

Brian

I need to go back to Saumur. It has been too long since I was last there...

... and I need the nice soldier to clear my ear wax again, by yelling at me because he thinks I have not paid to take photos.

You're welcome Brian. Instead of Bold Division I'd thought of Amusing Hobby which already have released the ARL 44.

Peter, have another visit to the museum. I don't think the barking soldier still works there.
