Anyone seen our tank?

BBC NEWS | Wales | Blow-up tank 'missing in action'
The British army have lost an inflatable tank!

The inflatable, life-size dummy tank was moored to the ground during a training exercise near Tredegar, south Wales.

But 80 mile per hour winds tore the battle tank replica from ropes tethering it to the ground and the vehicle is officially "missing in action".

A widescale search including a helicopter is now underway for the errant inflatable.

On Monday a military spokesman said they were anxious to hear from anyone who may have woken during the morning to find a tank in their garden.

Shades of Pink Floyd's famous escaped pig (from the cover of "Animals") that drifted over south London 25 years ago.
