What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.

World of Tanks have this photo of a strange one-man Carden-Loyd tank. It has three road wheels in addition to the tracks

Oh I just love seeing those vintage tanks like these. A number of years ago I was a hotel porter who used to set up meetings within the very room that Sir William Tritton and Major W.G.Wilson conceived of the idea of the military tank in September 1915. What's more, a few minutes down the road from there the first two hundred tanks were built.

Not necessarily.... I served in Armor and Cavalry/Air-Cavalry  for 20+ years...and some of those early designs we studied as an introduction to the theorems of conceptual operational design were exactly that.

This looks suspiciously like the identical vehicle invented in America in the '20's for use in deep snow and marshy terrain.

As you can see, the Germans got very desperate in the final years of the War. Due to the shortage of fuel, antitank weapons were mounted on bicycles
