Flying Cromwell
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I hope nobody was in the breech area of that one the gun traversed to the rear was flopping around in. That did not look right at all! Hope nobody's fingers were in the hatch of that Cent, either.

Hi,

I saw that hatch slam shut too, and I thought "I hope his head was down when that happened!" That would leave a bit of a mark, methinks!

Those flying landings looked kind of rough to me. I wonder what it took to convince someone to do that, even for a demonstration.
