What Is It?

Looks like it could be some type of mine sweeper, but I like Kris' answer better!

Hmmm; a tank with a curtain. Must be a tank with an all-female crew.

The good folk at Troy should have been more specific when asking for a new carpet to be layed .

It's for whale fishing from shore...The line is carried out to sea with a dinghy....

Contraption to wipe out track marks.

I think it's fascine-ating.

Looks like one of the specialty WWII English tanks specially designed for the D-Day landings to overcome beach obstacles (like barbed wire).

Well I wish I had one on my old Chevelle when we used to go parking off the back roads...DOH!!!....Ahhh the good ole days...

"Instant" runway-laying machine. [?]

Can you say bobbin, boys and girls?

Sure--the red, red robin just goes bob-bob-bobbin' along!

There's no just.

Tank modified to lay cable.

Lt. Gruber would just love it.

A Churchill Bobbin for laying roadways across loose sand.

My thoughts exactly.

A bog roll for the brass.

HEAVY duty mattress dryer?

a road-making machine used for leveling off roads!

I think it is a sail tank. If run out of gas in the desert you use the sail!

It's a WWII British mine sweeper mounted on a "Churchill" tank chassis......there are heavy duty chains located all around the roller spool which flail about to detonate mines in it's path, rather then the tank's threads doing the job.

These were operated by British Royal Army Engineers throughout the latter part of the war...

I agree, we knew them as "Flail Tanks".

This is the post war Toad built on the Churchill chassis. The Churchill chassis was used as the basis of a vast array of specialist engineer vehicles mainly because of the side hatches and large crew compartment. However I don't think the Churchill was used much, if at all, as a flail in WW2.

In the earlier part of the war the Scorpion, based on the Matilda II, was used. Later a flail based on the Grant was used. The main flail tanks from D-day on-wards were the Crabs based on the Sherman. The Churchill chassis went on to be used for a range of post war engineer vehicles including the Toad shown above.

I believe that it is an anti-land mine detonator. The arms would be lowered and the discs are connected with rows of chains strung across between them, when the discs are rotated the chains flail at the ground detonating buried land mines. I've seen video of these in action back in WW II.

Because of the cost of fuel. The DOD has asked for concepts ideas for alternative fuels

This a 10,000 HP tank.

It's a tissue dispenser for a bridge troll.

Whata you lookin' at???

Some jobs are tankless.

I knew those REME guys would work out a way to dry the mess tent after everything got dropped in the river. NAAFI tent's up next.

It's a Churchill AVRE (Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers).

There were lots of correct guesses again this week! And some funny ones, too.

That's rather a generic answer and doesn't actually say what it is specifically... I think it's the naughty chair for you for leading us on

Your answer is incomplete and therefore misleading. Look on this website:-

....and you will find the same picture and a full explanation adding "with Bobbin" to yours.

The Bobbin provided a way of moving heavy tanks over sand and other "shifty" surfaces, as its basically a rolled up "road surface".....

I did post this before, you may not have read it.....

I used the answer supplied by the person who submitted the image. I did a quick check and it seemed to be right. Sorry for not being quite precise enough but I'm not really an expert in this area.

It's a projection screen for the earlier versions of virtual reality training.

A tracked clothes horse

this is the first mechanised track layer, used during WW2, the idea is STILL used and was extremely efficient in the Falklands War. Usually the Royal Engineers have this machine and now it lays a plastic composite 3 meter wide 40 meter long track in about 30 seconds.

The downside.. a bitch to repair.. I was in the REME attached to the RE's.
