    It's not a blasted tank! But it's also great news.

    The question is whether they'll have a crack at the similarly-used Neptunes at Earith...

    They’re obviously robust machines. This is the one that was recovered from the bottom of the River Maas in the 1970’s and was featured in After the Battle issue 24.

    I think the current thinking is to conserve rather than restore it, particularly what's left of its paint and markings. That said, the cockpit has been repainted with the intention that it can be sat in.
