| Tank found in Grafenwoehr. At the Grafenwoehr Military Installation for the US Army here in Geramny they were conduction construction on hundreds of new housing units for the soldiers stationed there and during the construction yesterday they dug up some WW2 unexploded ordinance and found a burried WW2 Tank. The article did not say whether it was a US tank or a German Panzer though. I will continue to try and find info on this because either way it is a cool find but if it were a Tiger or Panther that would be amazing!

| There are several Tigers and Panthers here in Germany in Musuems such as the Sinsheim Museum. I might go to the Sinsheim museum on Saturday.

| There's one Tiger at Bovingdon, and it does run, although very occasionally. Tankfest is your best chance to see it get it's claws out. |

| The Sinsheim has a King Tiger, Tiger, Panther, Me-163, Me-262, Bf-109, Fw-190, Ju-52, among many other aircraft and tanks and military equipment. I think I will go there on Saturday and take lots of pictures.

| I will, I talked to my wife about going on Saturday and I think we are. It is only like an hour to hour and half drive from my house. And Lanc I think I went to Bovington several years ago. I will have to look for the pictures that I have from there. I think I have one of me standing next to the Tiger.
