G'day all, it appears to be my turn now to offer up a tank photo for someone to solve and to keep this thread going. Unfortunately I don't have as an extensive AFV photo album as Dima has, but here goes anyway...
1) Name this WW2 tank and it's country of origin.
2) What was it's unique design feature?
3) Where is the one in the photo currently displayed?
Well done Tack, it is an American T-28 Super Heavy Tank, armed with a 105mm gun and designed to destroy heavy fortifications in Germany and proposed invasion of Japan. Only two prototypes were ever built, the surviving one in the photograph here is on display at the "Patton Armour" museum at Fort Knox, Kentucky USA (They must use it to guard the US federal gold reserves stored there). It's special design feature was that the outer two of it's four tracks could be removed, attached together and towed behind as a separate unit for easier transport (Otherwise the tank would have been too wide to put on standard flat-bed rail carraiges).
