Yes Eva. They are used to practise removing wounded crew members from battle-damaged tanks. They also are used for target practice. There are many old tanks like this in Salisbury Plain military training area. If I can boast a little bit, this picture has been used to illustrate the cover of a new book about the Plain!

Your explanations are always very interesting, dear Purdey! Thank you. And what about your creative plans for the future?

Best greetings, Eva

I'm flattered that you should think I'm creative Eva! 'Creative' is beautiful photographs like this. I do want to visit Belgium soon so I can visit the area where these were taken. Best wishes, purdey

I've only just noticed your comment SashM so apologies for the late reply. I have a few wartime relics here (one of them is from Germany) and I've got some of old pillboxes and an abandoned WWII airfield that I haven't uploaded yet. When I do get them on Panoramio I'll tag them 'wartime relics' as well. Hope that helps. Best wishes, purdey
