Do they still have the wreckage of the fighter in the compound? I think it was a mirage, maybe a kafir..

Those tanks with the gun up are the Egyptian ones - those with the gun down the Israeli ones.

There was no wreckage of an A/C on display. Only inside the building, a part of a wing or a rudder was shown. This part was bearing Israeli markings.

And a question: Could anybody tell me who mounted when and why a French turret on the Sherman tank?

Or it is indicative of their tactics - Egyptians firing indirectly from a distance and the Israelis firing from 'up close and personal'.

You see that quite often at outside exhibits - they are just overpainted by a thick layer of primer every now and then.
