Doug did you have pic TKS ?

I don't think so, can you describe it or have a picture? From my references, I think you're referring to a smallish tankette like vehicle. Didn't see anything like that.
I still have a lot of stuff I haven't posted yet...got to resize and post to Photobucket first.

Thanks Doug!
I look forward to seeing those shots!

Well, here ya' go then. The first one is an AM with upgraded armor and laser detection, the second one has laser rangefinding ability itself, apparently. I'm sure if I'm wrong about any of these details, someone will be along shortly to none-to-gently sharpshoot any errors in this information.

This is USRR modernization T-55 to stadard M . One tank (on photo) was give by USRR to as base to polish modernization T-55AM "Merida" (tank with number 781).

Doug did you have pic TKS ?

Am I correct in making the assumption that this would be a product of Hanomag?

This well-known Hetzer that had a bad day. I tried everything to talk my way past the chain fence for better views, but the guard wasn't having any of it, so I did the best I could with the "zoom" function. The crew did an admirable job of self-destruction.

Note to Tim....sorry, no T34 Engineer vehicles that I could find, but there were plenty of T55 AM's, which will follow (and oddly enough, not a single T62). For now, there's this big fella':

So, I'm back, let the games begin (and many thanks to my hosts in Poland who made my visits to the Polish Army Museum and the Fort possible).

Who can't love a home-built AFV?...so let's start with the Warsaw Uprising inspired Kubus (which I managed a couple of interior through-the-view-slits shots of of the drivers' compartment and left side behind the driver).

This is the Grizzly, still located at Ft. Fort IX Czerniakow (for the registry records:

...and something you don't see everyday, an AVLB...this was hiding behind the fence and I managed a "zoom" shot while standing illicitily on a truck display hanging off to get a shot over the camo netting

...more to follow....

Poland AFV register is aviable in this location the.shadock.free.fr/Poland_AFVs.pdf

Thanks the_shadock for space on yours server

Well, that's going to be a tough act to follow! Tomorrow is the big day, supposedly 28 degrees C so ideal spring conditions, I hope. Anyway, My measly contribution will be largely redundant after seeing that great job, but I'll try to get something worthwhile with what time I have. Polar has done a super professional job with his registry and walkarounds, so I'll just take my usual grade-school snapshots and let you pick 'em over and use what you want after I get home.

On the other hand, I got some cool pics of three steam locomotives making steam at the central station apparently being moved between museums when we were going to Krakow yesterday, so that makes for some cool OT stuff to go with the cloak-and-dagger thing from earlier this week.

You are in Poland now?
Wich museum do you choise ?
If you are still in Warsaw and you will be have about 2,5 houers you can get to Fort IX Czerniakow.

Yes, been in Poland all week. Glad you resurrected this thread because I couldn't find it earlier when I started the other one about the state visit by the President of Pakistan, who was sharing my hotel (along with an army of Polish security agents).

Today is "tank day" but we only have time for the local exhibits, which won't permit visiting the military reservation, for reasons explained in the other thread. Also, Fort IX Czerniakow won't be on the agenda because of distance, I fear. We drove six hours yesterday round trip to Wodz (if I'm spelling that right) and by train the day previous to Krakow so we're all traveled out right now. We have some review this morning before our "outing". But there'll be other visits... Wink

Gotta' run, my ride should be here in five minutes!

Yes I agree with this sugestion. The "Poland register" is 2 days in internet and I have 5 new location vehicles what I before publish register don't know. Update Europe Register could be horror.

Don't worry, I think that at the beginning you will have to do a lot of updates, but until few weeks, it will slow down...

I still think that smaller "Countries AFV Registers" will be easier to handle than a great "Europe AFV Register". The Europe AFV Register will be, I think, really long, big in term of data size and harder to download for people who don't have broadband.
If you are interested, I could see what I can do for a temporary index page which will list existing AFVs registers, or anyone else could help with that (Websites designing is not what's I'm doing the best)..
