TIGER I
Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 3:06 pm
Here are a few shots of Tiger 131 which I took earlier this year;
On the move;
Back in the museum;
Here you can see where two of the incoming rounds hit the Tiger and helped put it out of action - one took off part of the trunnion on the side of the turret, the other hit the bottom of the gun then deflected into the hull roof which jammed the turret and smashed the radios;
This shows shrapnel damage to the exhaust covers and turret bin, along with heat damage to the covers;
The exhaust leaves deposits on the engine deck;
The loaders side of the turret showng the '88 breech;
The commanders cupola looking down to the gunners position;
Hope these are of interest.

Kev
