delta Posted 24 April , 2013 Share Posted 24 April , 2013 I have asked to help the relative of a tankee VC learn more about a model tank which recently came into their family. As you can see, the tank is painted with the number 130, which IIRC, was one of the tank banks Grateful if knowledgeable pals could assist.by confirming which tank the model represents and who might have made it Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislock Posted 25 April , 2013 Share Posted 25 April , 2013 Please' it is tankie and not tankee! Reminds me of my happy days reading Japanese expressions within "Commando" in the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted 25 April , 2013 Share Posted 25 April , 2013 Stephen, 130 was 'Nelson'. Search the site Picture Sheffield for 'Tank' and you'll find images of it in Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghchurcher Posted 20 May , 2013 Share Posted 20 May , 2013 Hi, nice model Stephen ! Which VC was it ? Tank I30 was used extensively on the UK bond raising tour and there are loads of photos of it all around the country. Geoffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
