At this the crew remounted, the Lieutenant tank commander stuffed the barrel through a bar window and loosed off a 105mm. blank.
That'l learn them.
The perpetrator was quite well heeled with the requisite private income and paid for the damage.
Any truth in the apocryphal (ie BS) story that some tankie wuperts drove over and crushed Rodney's new Spitfire/TR7/Stag as a jape, and happily wrote a cheque for same?
