minus-squarethanksforallthefish@literature.cafelinkfedilinkarrow-up16·2 days ago who is Ken Turner? 98 year old WW2 Normandy veteran who carried a piece of tank in his neck for 50 years according to BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0j2s9cq I can’t find any reporting on where he got the tank from but there’s a museum in the Midlands and another in Surrey with plenty of working WW2 era tanks - it wouldn’t have been too hard to rustle one up. I’m betting it’s this one, it’s the largest. https://tankmuseum.org/
