I wondered if these photos would be of interest to any of the Allied armour builders.

I found this memorial to the desert rats, just outside of Thetford in Norfolk, outside of a site which was a camp where Canadian Armoured Corps Soldiers were stationed, training for D Day. It is just outside of the Stanford battle Training area, where many Uk and Nato troops train today.

I am hoping that I can talk my wife into a trip to the North Norfolk coast soon and am intending a visit to the Muckleborough Collection and will try to take lots of pictures in the near future.

Great pics!!You can never have to many pics of armour of any kind.I've got the Tamiya kit so when I get to it (some day) these will do well on the build.
