Mr Wig Posted 5 October , 2010 Share Posted 5 October , 2010 I found a page on the Australian War Memorial about a Mark IV Tank they have in their collection. There's a brief history on the vehicle, but what's cool is the video on the page. They remove the left side sponson, then they show the interior. Here's the link: http://www.awm.gov.au/exhibitions/advancing/MarkIV.asp I don't know how those blokes rode in those things... Cheers Wig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
