Ultimate barn find !!!

I know you lot have spares tucked away inyour sheds, garages, lofts, rabbit hutches, dog baskets and underwear drawers, but I think you'll have to go a long way to beat the 78 year old pensioner in Germany.

In his basement (no, I'm not making that up) he had a WW2 Panther tank and a towed 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

Now that's what I call hoarding!

He's just had them confiscated under German War Weapons Control Act.

This is the link to the BBC's page.

That's why I keep quiet about the Vulcan bomber in my basement, or should I say cellar lol...
:lol

 

[emjaybee]

Oh yes, and he also had a torpedo and a V1 rocket!

Haha life in the old dog yet haha.

If he was a danger to others he'd of used them by now. The only problem is any ordinance he had may have become unstable due to age.

Amen to that brother. They think we're nuts, but come the zombie apocalypse we'll be alright. I've even tought the wife to shoot straight.

WOW, what a great story, I bet his kids had hours of fun playing in that old tank and it's worth a few quid. The historic tank dealers will be clambering all over that, hoping to buy it. I hope they run a proper story about it.

Well, when I was a student, I had a work placement at a MOD establishment, and they had a Vulcan Bomber in one of their hangers.
