Imperial Russian Monitor Smerch (Tornado). Built in 1863-65 in England, armed with a ram and two 9-inch guns. Hulked and renamed in 1904. Scrapped in 1959.

The flags were very helpful.

Please please please tell me that's the first ever amphibious armoured vehicle.

[Jagdpanzer]

I think it actually is.

[Darkhorse]

It's an experimental Mark IX, please post the original picture, its one I'd like to add to the archive.

*It's also the first dedicated armoured personnel carrier

[Jagdpanzer]

Correct, it's the Duck.

[Jagdpanzer]

M1911A1, Steyr MPi81, Browning Hi-Power.

Ray, Gene and Chris.

This thread is all about searching in the right places.

[Darkhorse]

Gene Hunt is a legend.

Fair enough, IMBD is useful, but how'd you get Ashes to Ashes?

[Jagdpanzer]

I'm afraid that's on a need-to-know basis. I'm not going to share all of my tricks with you.

New picture.

[Darkhorse]

You looked through every TV series with a Browning Hi-Power in it didn't you.

Either that or Gene Hunt is a global celebrity, or Ashes to Ashes aired in the Netherlands.

I'm onto you....

I've noticed this thread hasn't got an Lince follow up detective story...

[Darkhorse]

OO Is it the Ram Tower?

[Jagdpanzer]

The Ram Gun Tower was an artillery tractor and not a SPG.
It's not the Ram Gun Tower.

EDIT: But you're close.

[Darkhorse]

RAM 3.7in AA

[Jagdpanzer]

RAM 3.7in AA

Correct, it's the Ram 3.7inch AA Gun. A Canadian self-propelled AA Gun on the hull of the Ram tank. Probably prototype-only. The site where I found it has pictures of a M10 lookalike based on the Ram tank. It's probably your Ram Gun Tower.

Nice site about the Ram tank: http://www.ramtank.ca/
