Nice shot. Israel?

I remember when I was in Washington D.C. back in the 80s I saw a playground there that had an M-60, or possibly an M-48, tank that had been put there for the kids to play on.

I remember thinking that I would have loved to have one of them to play around on myself.

There was a Honey (M3 Stuart) tank and Universal Carrier in the playground just over the fence when I were t'lad.
That was at Papakura Camp in the early 60's - amazed I can remember it, seeing as we left before I was five...

cheers

The caption said Israel. The Israelis had great playground stuff, a P-51D (Sweet Fern) from my father's WW2 squadron was found at a kibbutz playground about 20 years ago. It was recovered and restored in England.

They used to have great old steam locomotives in the parks here in Santa Cruz that you could crawl all over ...but it became an "insurance liability" so they scrapped them all. Really a shame.

I second the Diorama idea - a way to recycle that WWII tank model into a modern senario.
