You’ve Been Mango’d This is a Mangonel, a type of catapult or siege machine used in medieval times to launch heavy projectiles at castle or city walls from a bowl-shaped bucket at the end of the arm. Its unpredictable, yet powerful strikes were best suited to hitting broad, non-moving targets such as buildings or walls. Mangonels hurled rocks, burning objects, fire pots (vessels filled with flammable materials that created a fireball on impact), or anything else readily available to the attacking and defending forces, even partially decomposed carcasses of animals or people, the latter intended to intimidate, demoralize, and spread disease among the besieged. Location: Caerlaverock Castle, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Date: 26th August 2008 This shot was featured by the Military Vehicle group, 10th May 2009. Click here to see Caerlaverock Castle

The tank was first used at the little known Battle of Flers. It was then used with less success at the Battle of the Somme. Though the tank was highly unreliable – as one would expect from a new machine – it did a great deal to end the horrors of trench warfare and brought back some mobility to the Western Front.

This is a group for Images of Military Vehicles, wheeled or tracked, land and amphibious. Especially catering for artists with a Military background, an enthusiastic preservation person or Images from a military vehicle show. It will cover vehicles in operation today right back to the earlier types of military transport. We are not expecting action war scenes but the vehicles themselves moving or static with personel or without. The vehicles must be the predominant feature.
