First tank leaving yard
a little bit of promotion to sell the tank
Auction gets under way, bidding prooves to be brisk
After arriving at DSEI the Space Hijackers put the second tank, a huge tracked vehicle painted in UN colours, up for auction. In this ironic action they mimicked real-world arms dealers claiming that they would sell the tank to any buyer, and that the use to which the tank was put after the sale was neither their concern nor their responsibility.
While the Space Hijackers’ spoof auction was taking place, visitors to the arms fair where enjoying drinks and nibbles on the deck of a British warship moored outside the exhibition centre.
