British personnel erect the deep wading tube on the rear deck of Tiger 131 during the period it spent at Medjez-el-Bab. It looks as if the lid of the commander's cupola has been disconnected at this time.

Another interior view of Tiger 131 showing the breech end of the 88mm gun from the loader's side. The loader's seat is in the foreground and the photograph also shows clearly how the canvas bag, to catch empty shell cases, was attached to the recoil guard rail.

Tank Museum photo No. 2399/B/5

A photograph apparently showing two Japanese Army officers in a Tiger I during a visit to Germany in the winter of 1943. Accounts suggest that a Tiger was to be supplied to Japan in October 1943 but ended up with SS Pz Abt 101instead.

Tank Museum photo No. 4840/A/5

An early Tiger I at a War Trophy Exhibition in Moscow in 1943. It appears to have been the Commanding Officer's tank of Pz Abt 502, one of six captured in January 1943. Notice the method of fitting a stowage bin to the side of the turret, the lack of side mudguards (and the means of securing them) and the ammunition displayed on the hull.
