I had great visit to this museum, though sadly I got less material from there than I had hoped, cause of many reason. One major being lack of time.

However, during visit I found out that there is Finnish tank Guild, and I joined into it. It's still little mystery of what everything there comes as benefit but so far im more than excited about it.

For example. Visits to Parola are now on free. Also there will be events for Tank training, reconstruction, learning. Some of events are in other museums around the globe. So we will see

Anyways...  keeping text short is best, aye?

Soo...  here are my only videos that I took from trip. Sadly only from t54, cause t72 was way too... difficult even to think that option, and with trouble of focusing my cameras while taking video, I chose not to. I had intented to use my smartphone as well...  but once again. Lack of time.    - Significance of time disappears when you enter heaven So yeah...  SOOORRRRYYY!


However here is what I managed to get for you guys. Enjoy!    PS lot of photos to come. A lot!

On the video... actually in the tank you can see this wooden statue of "unknown tank man" in drivers seat...  just ignore it. Its basically upped body only and is misleading of actual drivers position in a tank.

T-72 ones to come as well...   and then all the other candy. Though these two are pretty much only ones with interior visible.

Nice to know you guys enjoy.

Btw as some of you already know. There is easter egg hidden into these pictures I have taken. It is there like as a part of a t54...  but it tryly has nothing to do with it. And it is hard to find... but when you find it.. its so obvious. 

Have nice hunt.


BTW.. when you have found it. Just hold the secred and try to make others to find it as well. 


and no.. I didn't place it there..  I don't know who did.



And to make it said right now.. I noticed it only after wards when looking pictures...  not during my roughly 1,5 hour that I spend marveling details of this tank.

I don't think we have such detailed tank cross section in Poland. It's a brilliant way to see the details. I will try to go to one of the local tank museums during vacation and take some pictures too. We have a Grizzly here which is a Canadian version of Sharman and several other vehicles. Plenty of T-34s and T-55s of course.
