Pounds Scrapyard, Portsmouth, UK
Here are some of my pictures I took in July 1985 when I visited the famous Pounds Yard at Portsmouth. A veritable tank grave yard!
Among the thousands of tons of scrap steel were Churchill tanks, M10 and Sexton SP Guns, plus of course Universal Carriers. T16's were the most numerous (I think I counted at least a dozen), plus one Windsor. The latter was in a sand colour, probably meaning it was used in the Middle East after WW2.
