Damn. Didn't know that.  :o  I bet Gunney Ermey's about to crawl out of his grave right now.

at the 1:17 mark the camera pans up to the cathedral spires.

I've stood in pretty much that exact same place, several times over the years.

Just a quick heads-up for anyone interested- another issue of the Tank Encyclopedia Magazine has been released. Interesting reading and the price is right ;-)

Watch them loading ammo - those Shillelagh rounds look massive.

Always loved the look of the Sheridan - too bad it didn't work out well.  Tamiya has a 1/16 RC model - looks excellent - about 15K  Canadian.
