Love those Sherman's and Staghound armoured cars. :-) During the flight, I took a, if you can believe it.... "flash picture" from the back of the cabin area. Scared the hell out of everyone thinking it was something wrong with the plane. To say the least the CO didn't take too kindly to it and for a few minutes I thought this would be my first and last flight, not to wonder I might end up in an infantry regiment and walking, rather than riding in a tank! :-) Or Staghound, which I much preferred on wheels.:-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156
