WWII Tank & Vehicle Relic's in Libya

[@jimstanga6390]

Notice how the years of sand storms have sandblasted off all the paint, and the chilly desert nights and morning dew rapidly evaporated by scorching heat over and over has rust-blued the metal parts....fascinating

I am reading a book called Being Red by Howard Fast. In it he explains that in 1945 he was in Benghazi, Libya. He was driven about 10 mi. out into the desert where there were ruined vehicles of all types piled along the sides of a road for approx. 2 mi. He came to a small hill where at the top he could see in all directions. There were 1000's of German, American and Italian pieces of war as far as the eye could see. It was known as "The Graveyard." In the desert SW in US there are also 1000's of old war planes parked at old airbases. I say recycle the metal. Create plowshares from swords. . .

[@binaway]

In the Australian desert old vehicles degrade very slowly because there is no moisture and can last decades. They will get surface rust because the wind and sand blast the paint away.

[@themartianmantis2694]

Ana Datuin it's human history, those ignorant to history are doomed to repeat it, not those who stare it in the face. Sheltering ourselves from our own past will do more harm than good, these should all be preserved in a museum for future generations to learn from.

6.01 This aircraft is not a Hawker Fury. The aircraft in the background looks like it might be an open cockpit Italian G50. The leading edge of the wing of this aircraft appears to be missing, giving it a misleading profile. Is this a very rare Caproni Vizzola F.5 ?

3:08 Is it from the Omer Muhtar movie?

[@philfrog100]

excellent video thank you for sharing

[@TurboFly07]

the last wreck was not a Hawker Fury at all. Just by looking at the two pictures it is clear they are two very different aircraft. look at the position of the wings on the fuselage in comparison to the cockpit, look at the cockpit opening, look at the width, thickness, and shape of the wing, look at the vertical stabilizer, and obviously the landing gear coming from the under side of the wing, which most likely would have been retractable, not fixed to the fuselage. This aircraft was obviously not a biplane, but a monoplane. many parts of the aircraft are missing, especially tell tale details, which would point towards what it actually is, but I would guess this aircraft was probably either a Hawker Tempest or Typhoon, given the image of the wreck and most notably the height of the ripped off engine compartment. If you look closely you can see that there was probably a bubble canopy around the cockpit, but it has since been removed.

[@TurboFly07]

Furthermore, the flaps look extremely British to me.

[@neilpurvis6887]

They are both Furies, one from the 1930's, one from post world war 2. The later one was developed from the tempest 2, and was sold to the Iraq air force. Also navalised for the Royal Navy as the Sea Fury

[@jeffscott3186]

@@neilpurvis6887 You're dead on that it's a Sea Fury. The 2 big giveaways are the position of the cockpit (midwing) and what is a hole in this picture just behind the wing. If you look at the Sea Fury on wikipedia and the photo in the article of the one at the Australian War Memorial the fact it's a Sea Fury jumps out at you. Can't believe it was still around in 2005. Wonder if they just pushed them off into the desert at some point.

That's what I thought. The vehicles depicted were certainly featured in 'Lion of the Desert' though Gaddafi bankrolled a few films around that time...

[@jonfoisy1237]

@@makara80 Ha! I knew I wasn't the only fan of that movie! I'm glad someone else gets it. It has to be why those replicas are there. Shame they're just rotting away in the desert.

[@makara80]

Yes indeed though it's surely testament to whoever built them that they have endured reasonably intact for so long despite decades exposure to the elements! As for Lion of Desert, yes it's a guilty pleasure for me as, a film on that physical scale, made long after the grand Hollywood epic era, of exceptionally obscure subject matter boasting negligible appeal and with clearly no hope of ever recouping its sizeable costs, deserves a certain respect and appreciation!

[@blowingfree6928]

It is not a Tempest, the tailfin is the wrong shape. It is definately not a Typhoon. It is probably a Sea Fury. What plane is in the background? Another Sea Fury?

[@bfmcarparts]

It is a Hawker Fury, a remanufactured Sea Fury by Hawker in the mid-1950's with all its navy equipment (tailhook, folding wing mechanism) removed. Sold mainly to Iraq, Egypt and Libya I believe. A fair percentage of the flying surviving 'Sea Furies' are actually Furies.

[@grahamariss2111]

You have confused your Hawker Fury, with the pre war biplane and the (just) post war monoplane. But I think it may in fact be a Tempest 2, I have not checked the details, but I recall in Nevil Duke Hawkers test pilots book "Test Pilot" he talks about a sales tour he did with the Fury setting several records in the process, and many of these Middle Eastern Air forces were already using the Tempest 2 ( as a result the Fury gained few sales as they saw the next step being a jet not an improved Tempext).

[@geraldeverett6662]

It IS A Hawker Fury radial-engine ww2 fighter

[@grahamariss2111]

@@geraldeverett6662 No such thing in WW2, the Hawker Fury only flew as a prototype in September 1944 as the P.1020, the RAF order was cancelled before the aircraft entered production, the first fully navalised Sea Fury porotype flew in July 1945 and entered service with the Royal Navy in February 1947.

In 1972 our charter plane, escaping Amin's Uganda, did a refueling stop at Benghazi. The passengers were ordered to hide all cameras.

Bedford RL was produced between 1953 and 1970 so it cannot be described as WW11 vehicle.

[@NickRatnieks]

No Typhoons or Tempests in Libya- it is the naval variant of the Tempest- the Hawker Sea Fury. How the video got the biplane Hawker Fury in to represent it is very odd! Egypt used the Sea Fury so I reckon this aircraft was Egyptian- and may be across the border in Egypt.

[@mikemorris9645]

i think its Iraq , they had a lot of sea fury's

[@blowingfree6928]

NickRatnieks - the Tempest VI was used in the middle east from 1945 to the late 40s (247 Sqn I think), but the tail fin is wrong for the Tempest. I would say it is a Sea Fury. There is a slight kink in the wing which I think the Sea Fury had. Generally speaking the people who post these kind of collections on KZbin know very little about the subject matter, which is particularly true of aircraft; so it does not surprise me that the video compiler cannot tell the difference between the Hawker Fury biplane and the Sea Fury monoplane.....

[@kellybreen5526]

The two Hawker Furies are different Furies. One is a 1930's biplane the other is a monoplane fighter just too late for the Second World War. It's almost like seeing an A-10 when you were expecting a P-47..... they were both "Thunderbolts".

I spent about fifteen years in Libya, mostly in Tripoli but travelling all around the place. It’s very uncommon to see WWII relics or wrecks. Before oil discovery and boom, only Libyan export was recovered steel from war wrecks and some grapes for Greece wine producers. So people were chasing for them. I personally met in Benghazi one guy that did start his working life as helper for his father. They were driving all around battlefields to recover tanks, trucks and other wrecks then carrying them back to the coast. He told me a lot of people with this kind of activity lost their life with abandoned ordnance or when they walk or drive on a land mine. I heard bunch of stories about columns of trucks or tanks lost in the Sea Sand but never saw or spoke to someone that did personally saw them. During 15 years of Libya, the only discovery that I heard about was of an Italian soldier found with his machine gun, that’s not so much!! No French tanks still in North Africa and I did travel in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria. A very few trucks wrecks of the Leclec column in the Libyan desert, just some pieces of rusted steel and nothing to be exited about!
