Interesting news. It just goes to show what's still 'out there'. My Dad was always fond of telling me that when the Fens were flooded in the 50's, 3 WW2 tanks were driven into the river bank to seal the breach. As far as I know, they're still there.

Nice find, I can still remember a Sherman in the water on the southern part of Gibraltar which had over run the quay in 1959, you could make out the shape being nose down in the mud.
I wonder if that is still there, was in the military district of Gib.

Looks like a Comet tank, with the slide hatch's on the front top superstructure giving it away,at first I thought it was a Cromwell. Used as target practice by the look of it. .

Have a look at this: www.englishrussia.com/?p=299It's in a remarkable state of preservation and it looks like it was driven into the lake last week, not 60 years ago!

Yep seen the video, they got it going to, was used and disregarded by the Germans in 1943 when it ran out of fuel, so they said. ;D
