    Well you all know it, I made the mistake in picking the wrong picture, it is too famous. Never mind, whoever wants to go next just say the answer and post

    Man, I couldn't find a sarcastic smiley . OK, I'll knock this on the head - The Norwegian,heavily nicknamed, Stridsvagn L-120; aka: "Rikstanken" or "Kongstanken" or "Norgestanken". The single Landsverk prototype L-120 was built by Sweden with possibly 2 spare chassis. 1 chassis was delivered to Norway around 1937 and was fitted out with an improvised turret armed with a Colt M/29 heavy machine gun. Viola, Norway's first tank - the Rikstanken, etc. Seen here taking part in winter exercises dressed in a sheet by the looks of it!

    Anyone can post, I'll put something up in 24hrs if nothing else turns up.

    Thanks for that agunter, I had it picked as a Stridsvagn early but couldn't pin it down with that turret and those smaller road wheels - it was a real challenge! (nod to Jgdpz for the confirming it as European, I also was starting to think it was Japanese). I hadn't picked it from the lists because I presumed the L-120 nomenclature indicated modern.

    I was hoping for some rep from a fresh face, it's become a scarce commodity for me in this thread .

    Nobody's posted so it's gonna be another half track:

    Yeh but that is like correctly identifying a Char B1, rather easy and not really worth the rep

    From the aircraft factory hellbent on making planes so hideous that they almost transcend to beauty from the other side, comes Blackburn B-25 Roc.

    Correct.
    The Roc was a two-seat Fleet fighter/dive-bomber developed from the Skua but with a wider rear fuselage to accommodate a Boulton Paul power-driven turret with four Browning machine-guns. The entire production of 136 aircraft was subcontracted to Boulton Paul Ltd, Wolverhampton. The first aircraft flew on 23 December 1938. Four Rocs were also flown experimentally with float landing gears.
    Rocs served briefly with Nos 801 and 806 Squadrons, FAA, in 1940. When broadsides by the four turret guns proved a failure, Rocs were relegated to second-line duties in the UK, Egypt and Bermuda. Many were painted with diagonal black and yellow stripes in 1940 as target-tugs. Others were used in 1941 for sea searches for survivors of sinking ships and aircraft in the English Channel.

    Probably way too easy, but too adorable to resist.
