Insurance need to see them. Fuel, oil etc on board, environmental repercussions. ISO and all the ticks at all the legal mines these days.

I'm glad I wasn't involved in the recovery, that would have been a shitty job.

They do the Anzac Day stuff up at the ridge now, not down at the memorial as posted previously. Too much traffic hassle. Remains of a Matilda tank
