Every year, at the end of August, a Tank Day takes place in the museum. Last year, the 16th year was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic. The first Czechoslovak tanks were Renaults FT 17, This was borrowed from the museum in Saumur.

I am really trying to resist doing the tank jokes - but I just can't - sorry

"Perfect condition - little use, paintwork unblemished - only even driven in reverse"

The tank was borrowed from Saumur, couldn't ride its own power, there was no engine in that tank , it was just a shell.

I have been a couple of times to Saumur - not been for a while - I would like to go again

It is a good idea to visit Saumur.

I had doubts about the painting, but I see that it corresponds to the copy sent by Peru to the Czech Republic for the museum, how nice it is and the best thing is that they still work, my congratulations to those who keep them in those conditions

Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer.

If I ever win the lottery that is the first purchase on the list - in fact anything on a 38t chassis - its got a nice paint job as well

I would also like an RSO tractor - was watching one with an PAK40 mounted but it went for $32K - and then there was the issue of getting it from USA to UK

Part of the event is also a "demonstration", this time it was an example of fighting between the U.S. Army and Wehrmacht. For the start of artillery shelling.
