So the Porsche King Tiger and the Jagdtiger got a new paint job.
Looking forward to take pictures of all of them. I will be there a few days before Tankfest

P-O
#593: Re: Bovington Author: Pzkpfw-e, Posted: Thu Jun 15, 2017 8:36 am ---- I'm there Sunday
#594: Re: Bovington Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Thu Jun 15, 2017 3:49 pm ---- Okay, so me and P-O can recognize each other.
For the others, I am 1.90 m, 100 kg, 47 years old.
I carry a black backpack with camera gear and a monopod hanging from it. Next to the Arena I will have a Canon camera with a long white lens. That should be sufficient
See you there
Massimo
#595: Re: Bovington Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Thu Jun 22, 2017 5:32 am ---- The Light Tank Mk IV is being restored and run again: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aFTtd7d89U
#596: Re: Bovington Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Thu Jun 22, 2017 4:56 pm ---- The "Tiger Collection" display is wonderful, the trip would be worthy even just to see it.
For those attending Tankfest. The StuG III had some steering issues earlier this week but now seems fine. The Jagdpanther entered the arena earlier today.
Massimo
#597: Re: Bovington Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Fri Jun 23, 2017 5:33 pm ---- The Jagdpanther keep having some technical issues. The Saint-Chamond is there. Seems like the Light Tank Mk IV was finished in time for the show and run.

#598: Re: Bovington Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Sun Jun 25, 2017 5:33 pm ---- Yesterday I've met with P-O and even managed to enjoy dinner together.
Today, by sheer chances, I've met Paul (aka Megashort). I was along the border of the Arena and one guy took a place just next to me, I recognized his peculiar Olympus gear and call him, he was Paul! Just incredible how we met among 8k people.
I am sorry I failed to meet Pzkpfw-e
Massimo
PS I've shot 2800 pictures in two days
#599: Re: Bovington Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Sun Jun 25, 2017 8:16 pm ---- Paul, who is way faster than me, already posted over 200 pics: www.flickr.com/photos/...2516163643
#600: Re: Bovington Author: Pzkpfw-e, Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2017 7:45 pm ---- I took a hundred or so pictures. I'll leave it to the pros to post theirs!
