Ah thanks for the reminder Sean! I was watching last weeks Ten Best bombers and certainly enjoyed it. Already placed an alarm on my phone for this one so that i wont miss it.

After this, there is a great program on the History channel called Mail Call i think and it basically is a program where viewers write in to find out facts about various parts of the military. The trailer mainly showed whether a flak jacket could withstand a shot from an AK47.

Looks to be a night of TV.

Hi

It was an interesting show yes those listed by Matt were there.

The Leopard 2 winning. Certainly a nice tank.

I thought it was very interesting to see images/opinions of Mr Littlefield, his museum and the Panther they are restoring plus images/opinions of Mr Steve Zaloga.

I loved the stuff on the Panther and having the German veteran present as well what a magical site with him in the Panther and saying "Panzer marsch" Superb stuff.

I enjoyed watching it all a great show.

Its a very subjective and difficult subject to choose a top ten.

I quess in fairness of the ten I agreed with having 9 of those there.

The debate will always be over which ten and in what order.

Regards

Sean
