Well done Pall Mall, but your memory is fading.....the first pic on the Tank 4 post is actually Tank 5, from 91/92 The major external difference between 4 and 5 is the pods, look closely on the tank website, also the modern podjursky iterations follow the tank 4 look Over 70 tank pics here:- www.thetank.co.nz/asp/history.asp |

Memory is either going or there is information overload.
I thought when I put the photo on that the side panel looked wrong. Photo in the right place now.

Plus, if you wanted to get totally pedantic, palmy switched to 7 digit phone numbers in May 1991, so that photo must have been from 91/92 or later.........yes, I know I'm sad......
