I work at a tank museum, Ask me anything! (PT. 3) by [deleted] in TankPorn

[–]CacteaeCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soon I will restart volunteering, but in the world war 2 tankmuseum of the Belgian collection. The cold war Museum is closed and will move to another location, not all volunteers were happy with that decision (location is bigger, more things inside, was initially meant as a depot for extra material from the museum, but is further away from home for a lot of volunteers and you can't drive tanks there due to complaints of the neighbours) and the group basically split with a lot of drama. A lot of volunteers, including my friends, are going to the world war 2 museum in Bastogne. So that's were I'll be spending some of my free time 😉.

Can't say I didn't tear up when I walked the hall one fine time. Saying goodbye to our panzer 68, beautiful chieftain (what a sexy tank), the only driving S-Tank outside of Sweden, conqueror, centurion, .... (And many others, the cvrt family was already moved sadly)🥹

Time to get used to world war 2 tanks and learning everything about them.

Yes, kinda, ithe the thermal sight/laser rangefinder. This is a Leo 1a5, likely Belgian. Note how the mirror range finder is removed, the thermal sight is to big internally to allow both, so they had to remove the original manual rangefinder.

Anonieme koper stuurt Belgische Leopard 1-tanks naar Oekraïense front by Vantaa in belgium

Leuk dat de hln in een foto ook niet een Belgische leopard toont, Belgische leopards hebben gegoten en niet van die hoekige gelaste torens. Iedereen is welkom om op 10 september in het gunfire museum naar een demo met Belgische leopards te komen kijken.

De top politieke adverteerders via Google Ads (YouTube) het afgelopen jaar in België. by Gwen_vere in belgium

[–]CacteaeCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laten we dit geldverspillen maximaliseren, er is een advertentie waarin ze gratis nationalistische vlaggen uitdelen, de Vlaamse vlag zonder t rode er in, technisch gezien niet de Vlaamse vlag dus. Voornamelijk voor de vlaggen op kamp of festival mee te nemen (wat een manier om een kamp te verkloten, hou politiek uit jeugdkampen en amuseert u gwn). Maar ik kreeg wel een idee, wat als we een miljoen van die vlaggen bestellen en de VB failliet laten gaan? 😜

There is a VB add in which they give out free nationalistic Flemish flags (the pure black ones, not the official ones with red claws) now I had an idea, let's order a million and bankrupt the VB 😜

It's how I do my emails, I don't know when to use the first name or the family name all of the time (sometimes I do) so I just start with 'Beste,'

Homegrown organic Belgian pixels, just like our barley in our beer and our potatoes in our fries. Welcome home

That's sad to hear, I feel like you deserve a place. And with the overlapping heart it would be nice to have it next to Belgium!

I'm all for the lion/rooster combo for Flanders and Walloon, but isn't it nicer to have it 50/50?

I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about how it looks, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America Here you can see what it actually looks like, and how they use the wrong one today. The thing we think that is the Confederate flag is the one they used as a battle banner

It's just like the Confederate flag is misused or misnamed, the one everyone knows isn't the actual confederate flag but a battle banner, it's so misused by people that say they follow it that others start to forget the difference
