ROYAL MUSEUM OF THE ARMY AND MILITARY HISTORY, BRUSSELS - BELGIUM Their web
site is http://www.klm-mra.be/frans/index.html
They have aircraft, Tiger tank, WWI Mk. IV tank, Renault FT17 tank (WWI also
used by USA), T-72, Joseph Stalin JS-2, T-34 Patton etc. etc.
They had an ORIGINAL WWII SAS jeep on display complete and with damage from
20mm German shells. It was closed when I visited in the winter c. 1974. I
have seen a magazine article about it. It should be very interesting.
This link shows you how to find it with a map.

I found the people of Brussels to be most hospitable. Belgium has a special
place in the hearts of Canadians as so many of our servicemen died in the
liberation of that country in 1944-45.
If you see their SAS jeep, I'd LOVE some photos!
