Love it, Terry. Especially the way that the Union Flag is hanging so limp... Summarises the state of the UK at present?

Ha ha. Yes, symbolic perhaps, but at least the St George flag managed to put in a bit of an effort. Thanks for liking.

In late 1917 the German Army produced 20 A7V Sturmpanzerwagen’s which were deployed in combat the following year. Crewed with 18 men, the cumbersome war machines clambered into action in April 1918. The German tanks were engaged in actions at such places as Villers-Bretonneux, a small French village that was recaptured by Australian soldiers at the cost of 1,200 lives. The A7V’s were involved in the first tank versus tank action.

The A7V Sturmpanzerwagen known as Mephisto was immobilised in an area close to Villers-Bretonneux called Monument Wood. In July 1918 a detachment of soldiers from the 26th Battalion, mainly comprised of Queenslanders, helped recover the abandoned tank and drag it back to the allied lines. It was sent to Australia as a war trophy, arriving at Norman Wharf in June 1919 where it was towed by two Brisbane City Council steamrollers to the Queensland Museum, then located in Fortitude Valley. It remains the sole surviving A7V tank in the world.

At the Queensland Museum today, I used (handheld) Focus Bracketing (5 Shots, Interval of 4) to extend the DOF and used PS CC to Align and Blend the frames. It took some patience to shoot during the lull, between streams of visitors.

interesting Dennis
that would be hellish noisy in there when in operation I imagine
You certainly made the most of your opportunity to photograph it. Very well done

Thanks Richard, not to mention the heat build up inside the enclosed and confined space.

Great job on these. Even at wider angles taking a series of shots at 1/13 takes some concentration.

Nice shots. I love how Germans always pick the shortest names. The Sturmpanzerwagen It was a B movie but I got a kick out of it. Iron Sky released in 2012. The Götterdämmerung was their primary weapon.
