On Kindle....Forgotten Victory by Mark Zuehlke. Its about the 1st Canadian Army and the battle for the Scheldt in winter 1944. Very good read so far. Starts off with a detailed account of the role played by the Canadian Engineers in the evacuation of the Para's etc from Arnhem. Recently finished Hill 112 by Tim Saunders. Another great read and gives a good account of the 43rd Wessex Div during the battle.... which was a real meat grinder! Have also taken a real liking to History Of War magazine too! Regards, Steve

Weather presenters who say that the temperature will be in the 'early 20's' Eh? Are we talking abouts its age here or a decade... it should be 'low' not 'early' Regards Steve

Aye up Steve, Theres me thinking you had a thing for Old Speckled Hen! Regards, Steve

Aye up Roger, Just been having a google and majority of KV I period pics show the hatch hinged to the rear with one or two hinged to the right. It may depend on the actual version of the KV I or as you say its on a swivel. As regards the colour... I would assume it was the same as the tank exterior like it was on Allied Armour. Hope this helps, Regards. Steve

Aye up Roger, Nice, and the paint work looks really good. Regards, Steve
