Fantastic capture.

Is there any similarity between Challengers and the Abrams battle tanks?, they look kind of similiar.

Put any set of parameters into a CAD system and you'll get a similar output - just as many modern cars look similar.
We reckon Chally-2 is better because of the new composite armour - Abrams uses the 'old' British Chobham armour, whereas Chally-2 has a newer version.
Obviously doesn't stop IEDs blowing holes in the undersides though - 2 dead last week in Iraq from just such an attack.

nice shot.

Why thank you kindly, Young Miss.
As you'll appreciate, some of this series were taken with the 17-35mm - that's closer than I ever want to get to one of these things normally. I'd be much happier looking at them through the sights of an ATGWS-Javellin.
At one point my sleeve was brushed by one of the tracks going past and I had one of those "Oh-No!" moments - I could just imagine the hilarity as the Brigade Phot is reduced to bloody rags in front of the assembled Civvi Press we were escorting...
