What I did on my summer vacation.

Some people go to the beach.

I like to look at banners. Sue me

[BossGnome]

why is the light polish knight's banner in french?

[carnifex]

Those are the banners of the Chevau Legers Polonais de la Garde Imperiale, created by Nappy in 1807.

you forgot the x on chevaux [:)]

[ericbabe]

That's awesome! What are the construction materials?

[carnifex]

you forgot the x on chevaux

I'm gonna go with the spelling on the banner

What are the construction materials?

Not sure, perhaps silk and lots of gold thread. These didn't look like battle standards, that is they seemed flimsy to be carried into battle. There were other more impressive banners but they weren't lit up enough for good shots.

On the other hand, I can tell you the construction materials of the MiG23MF but that's outside the scope of this forum

my turn my turn


ahhh, never mind

[bluemonday]

Is that from the Muzeum Wojska Polskiego on Aleje Jerozolimskie?

[carnifex]

Right you are. In an ironic twist, the German Leopard 1A4 is parked right at the entrance, it's gun pointed at the gates.

[carnifex]

I found the museum annex on Powsinska much more interesting. Lots of APC's, planes, and other equipment there.

It was also more interactive Below is the view from the turret of a BMP variant.

[bluemonday]

Yes, the Powsinska one has the more interesting hardware (lots more of it, anyway). Did you stop inside the Katyn exhibit that's indoors?

[carnifex]

No, Oswiencim/Brzezinka was like a giant punch to the head, I'm done with massacres.
