Amphibious 'things'

[FUBAR]

Just finished off a development in Portsmouth, and on my way to site visits I have always wondered what the two huge rusting amphibious vehicles on the east side of the M275 are.

Im guessing WWII?

While we're at it (and I dont think we have one yet?), lets see pictures of other amphibeous machinery

Is that the old Pounds' scrap yard. If is, they haven't half cleaned it up since I last drove past that way.

Not a pic, but a nice transition; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mr_pCrhTkk

Then marvel at the drivetrain

Is there a hi-res version of that?

Bloody hell! I’m surprised both the vehicle AND the driver survived this!
