Country:  | Have you ever seen the pre-war picture of a Soviet BT-2 'flying'? If you haven't, look: 
Sorry for sticking an image on your thread, les, it had to be done.

| In WW1 when the tank came into service there was a demonstration in front of the Royal Family. A tank came down a huge drop, then came over to the royal stand and stopped. The King asked to speak to the crew and four men came out and talked to the King.
No one told the King that the other I think it was six members of the crew were still inside the tank but had been knocked out when it hit the ground. | |
