Welcome to
"Armour Uk" military vehicle web site.
Picture Quality:
I am
aware that there can be a problem with
the quality of the pictures which will vary
depending on the viewers computers/monitors personal setup, adjusting the
monitors brightness will normally solve the problem.
Requests for pictures:
If you would like an electronic copy of any
of the pictures please feel free to contact me as nine times out of ten
the original is a lot better/bigger than the one on display,
either obtain the picture number from the pictures properties and/or let
me know which page it is displayed on and I will freely send you a copy.

A
bit about me:
My passion for military vehicles [with some exceptions] all started when
as a youngster I was taken to several army open days where at one I was
allowed to explore the insides of a Chieftain Tank. It was further
heightened in my teens when I was on holiday in Norfolk where we
were staying at a campsite overlooking the Muckleburgh Collection which I
visited several times. I finally fell for these metal brutes when I
visited Bovington Tank Museum when I walked into the main hall between a
King Tiger and a Panther, I was so exited and in awe of the size of these
vehicles I got the shakes and all the pictures I took came out blurred.
Since then I was introduced to IWM, Duxford by my uncle and I now try to
go there at least once or twice a year. My aim is now to get pictures of
every military vehicle on show within the United Kingdom which should keep
me going for several years. My other passion is wargamming which has
produced a liking for the Danish and Swedish Armed Forces mainly I suppose
because they have used Centurions which do look good with the camouflage
and modifications made to them.
The pictures within this site
spans from as early as 1988 when I got my first Zenith camera which I
still have but has been replaced by a more up to date Minolta camera,
hence the quality of the pictures have improved over the years but some
times the camera gets the better off me. I have supplemented my 35mm with
a digital camera which I am not really happy with but sometimes it comes
in handy.
Having owned only briefly a BV202
Snowcat I can not see myself loosing interest in this hobby anytime in the
near future and can see my photo collection and this web site expanding
over a long period of time. I hope that you enjoy looking at the pictures
and are able to put up with any drivel that I care to type onto the pages.
Any questions or comments or rectifications are welcome, so feel free to
e-mail me at jonathan@armouruk.fsnet.co.uk
I'll try not to be offended.
