#1: Some Leclerc pics from my first trip to Paris (2001) Author: Neil_Baumgardner, Location: Arlington, VAPosted: Mon Feb 12, 2007 5:57 pm ---- I just stumbled upon these old pics, taken with an old camera, that I thought I had lost in a hard-drive crash...
My first trip to Paris, covering the airshow, in 2001 - I discovered the French army was doing a public display near the Ecole Militaire... The crew didnt seem to care, let alone mind, if I took interior pics...
Gunner position?
TC position?
And me in the TC position
Oh yeah, and a line of VBLs...

I swear they threw in extra steps & bumps & projections simply in an attempt to make the turret look cool! There doesn't seem to be any *logical* reason for that thing's peculiar shape.
