    Not sure on this.

    Caption states ~ "Panther crew members pose in front of their tank, which they have parked precariously on top of a rock".
    Date & location of pic not stated.

    Wonder what the commanding officer thought, may be good for some AA work!

    Probably not really all that precarious. Easy on, easy off the back side.

    Nice photo. I would have guessed somewhere in North Africa but that is well before these entered service.

    Pilots aren't the only service members taking "Hero" shots.

    Ah! the good old RAF types always having the rivalry with those attached to terra firma as old as Methuselah this one, on a serious note deep down I think the fly boys respected their earth bound brethren and vice versa but well rivalry in sport is a healthy thing is it not
