Eta - I was told that the plane in the background was the remnants of an A10 tank buster , anyone know for certain ?

A few years ago , someone brought back a white pickup truck from Iraq that had some sort of rocket launcher installed on the flat bed.
It was basically brand new when it dragged out onto f range as cannon fodder.

Didn't take long to become riddled with holes and change colour from white to rust brown...

Eta - the last time I saw that tank it was painted yellow , with "Brits go home"  written on it !? !

They're road wheels not idlers, but the big gap is a bit of a giveaway.

Not sure about the plane.
