Yeah I doubt it would fire, and I'd probably never try it, but it would be fun to take apart just to see how it functioned, and if the rust wasn't too bad, I figure it would be easier to restore than say an old rusted AK, because a larger caliber gun uses larger, thicker metal.

I remember reading one place in Eastern Europe dug in tanks along its border to protect against NATO. Eventually the Cold War simmered down and they forgot about the tanks. In the 90s they remembered them and sent someone to see if they could stick the tanks in a museum or something. Most of the tanks had been stolen. They were a mix of Panzers and T-34s, and in the case of at least the T-34s they had literally just drove off with them.

Varosha Cyprus entire city has been abandoned one day in 1976 nobody has been allowed back. Greek and Turkish snipers watch the city with orders to fire on anybody inside. It said that there are cars even ferraris that are waiting at the dealership. Even more sought after is the bank its had a required reserve ratio of 15% gold. That means that 15% of all the loans it made were backed up with gold which is still resting in the vault today. A while back few documentaries were able to sneak in.

I swear to fucking god, if anyone had the cash to make this happen, (me included) I would donate my fabrication/mechanics/engineering skills to do any of this shit. Also, does anyone know how I could go about owning a light house out on the water?

I remember reading something about a dude who found an intact WWII bomber somewhere in the Sahara. The machine guns were still in working order and had a fresh belt with a round in the chamber. If I'm not mistaken only one crew member made it out of that wreck alive by tripping balls on military grade speed and walking like a fucking madman right out of the desert, or something to that extent anyway.

>>8922328 Do you mean the story of a Vickers Wellington that crash-landed on the skeleton coast? I seem to remember seeing about that on Ray Mears about eight or nine years ago and being majorly impressed.

>>8926306 There's some aviation history organization that's trying to restore one of those.
In a storm though the one they had got blown over and shit got wrecked, they had to find a donor for it and got one with a good set of wings.
Although, the one they had had the machine gun mounting ring on the nose.

I went to one of our Forts, can't remember which one, they have a graveyard there with some cool shit, what were those tracked ammunition carriers? I think some were made by Packard.
They also had a couple of UH-1s that they're just leaving and let sink in the fucking grass.
