NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 29 MARCH 2010

Hi and welcome to what’s new on Miliblog this week.

Been another busy week at work so I haven’t been able to add some more photos for your delight. Just another story I heard from the WMMS show we visited.

Not so many years ago, a farmer in the Republic of Ireland was ploughing this field and his plough blades struck something large and metallic in one of his fields. Thinking he’d found treasure, he dug round to see what he had found and was amazed to find three old army tanks ! 

The story continues that either during or after WW2, the Republic of Ireland Army added at least three British Churchill Tanks to their forces. When they had finished with them, a hole was dug in a field and they were buried there.

Now the mystery to this tale is what did the farmer do with these rare tanks ? Did he:-

A) Sell them for scrap metal

B) Bury them again

C) Contact the Army and they ended up in museums

Answers on a postcard please !!!!!!

Or even email us at info@miliblog.co.uk with your thoughts or even if you can add to the story if you know what happened to these tanks.  

Have a great week ahead. Weather permitting Miliblog will be visiting the Easter Festival of Transport at Weston Park in Shropshire, so we will hope to see some green machines there.

Cheerio !
