Description
This is Tiger 131 being road-tested by British technical officers following its capture. It was taken on short runs within "Red Cap Alley", like this one, and it performed well; but later a journey to Tunis was attempted, and the engine was found to be leaking water when fully heated up. Consequently the tank could not participate in the victory parade.
This small grove of olive trees is inside "Red Cap Alley", 4km south of Medjez el-Bab, at the foot of Djebel al Mughrah which can be seen in the background.
