Post by: Whoey on June 08, 2008, 11:01:17 AM
Saw this when I was in France a couple years ago...

Ok granted, it's not multiuse, but it does fold!

A handy item on those cold hikes when you don't want to get your feet wet in the stream. :)


Hmmm, seems like Benner saw something similar recently in this thread HERE (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,4962.0.html)

I took about 250 photos in the museum in France, it is similar to the one in the other post, apparently the French one is the largest collection of tanks... they have a good selection of all eras altho I didn't take photos of everything... That was the only bridgelayer that I saw, and it was outside in the parking lot... most of the tanks are functional too... plus they seem to have a crapload of spares... would be a fun place to work if I was mechanically inclined rather than electronically...

I was a bit disappointed that the only Canadian vehicle was a troop transport...

If it's of interest, I'll try to setup a picasa or flickr album...

Wow, great pictures! That must have been a memorable place to visit. 8)


Hmmm, just noticing the Swedish S-tank. What a remarkably low profile. It would have been a difficult target to hit.

indeed was interesting... and the really big tanks like the British Conqueror that was too big for rail transport...

Yes, and a difficult one to aim too.
