From the trip to Russia One of the many outdoor museums Lots of second war equipment on display, here you see a T 34 and an small APC btw on the way into the country they had a section in the customs form for listing weapons and ammo .... including a section for fully automatic. I saw a couple of AK47 and machine guns being inspected ... all were riding in the checked luggage !!!

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Wow. Those Ruskies.... No more comment from an ex-opressed by their lot behind the iron curtain. good to see the vehicles locked up, away from their plundering hands. :D

The T34 had more fire power/ hitting power than the german panzers. Another one of my passions - history of WW II. Thanks for sharing Al.

Mark the people at the airport did not look concerned, never seen anything like it !!!

Oh yes, the King Tiger. Truly a piece of engineering worthy of the name.
