Military Museum, Johannesburg


Original German fighter plane complete with crash damage.

This miniature wooden riding boot had a panel on the top to put things in. When the panel was slid open a snake with a pin as a fang would jump out. This snake was a symbol of guerilla warfare. I have seen/bought a container with a snake that jumps out. It gives quite a fright. I gave it to Ross Turner and I hope he still has it. I thought it was rather special. I was surprised to see the origins of this snake trick box in this museum.

Wonderful symbol on a German fighter plane. Its a young boy crapping on Uncle Sam's hat. Whoo hoo.!
