Do tanks and other heavily armoured vehicles have horns?

To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time. -
You mean like, beep, beep, get out of my way horns?
What would they need them for?

Not technically a tank. Looks like one but is not.Originally posted by Falcon Horus View Post
Spoiler:
It is an FV433 Abbot Self-Propelled Gun. The giveaway for me is the travel lock, the framework supporting the barrel if the 105 mm howitzer.
The lady is sitting on the barrel of the howitzer.
The vehicle is one the privately owned samples as detailed by the pink color and civilian license plate. Abbots are extremely popular with private owners who wish to be own a "tank". It looks enough like one and is far cheaper to acquire, maintain and operate than a genuine tank.

The reason I'm asking, is this - I saw Brad Pitt's new movie "Fury" yesterday afternoon. It's the story of the crew of a Sherman tank during the last months of WWII, and how they have to defend a vital crossroads from a seemingly unstoppable force of veteran SS Panzer Grenadiers.
Now, one scene has a column of Shermans slowly making their way through a mass of German refugees coming in the opposite direction.
I just had a mental image of the driver honking the tank's horn a couple of times to chivvy the refugees out of the way a bit.sigpic

Just need a confirmation on something for creating the background of my character. According to my research, top two medical schools in the world are often considered to be Harvard of the US and Oxford of England. Can anyone confirm?

Most of my reading have doctors in the UK going to Scotland for their schooling, particularly in Edinburgh.
No doubt that Harvard Medical turns out some highly skilled doctors but part of it is that is the Harvard name that provides the edge. Harvard Law has the same reputation.No Sam w/o a Jack and no Jack w/o a Sam.
