thought i recognised the blue rope railings.

started my apprenticeship on scouts and wasps, wish my varadero was as simple as one, they only have about 6 moving parts and 4 of them are rotor blades :laugh:

Thanks mate very informative; Paul C guessed that it might be the case, whereas I thought they were all self contained.

no all outside, in case the tank got hit and there was a fire. the trailer could even be jettisoned remotely. british tanks were always prone to catching fire, or 'brewing up', when hit. tankers have a warped sense of humour, germans called our tanks 'tommy cookers', our guys called them 'ronsons', because they lit every time! brave fellas still went in them though. amazingly it took years to figure out to put diesel engines in the things.
