Anyone remember Fireball XL5, well this mounted specimen of an MTB reminds me of it just as it was leaving the end of the launch rail, which is I believe the way the soviets used to launch rockets early in the 1950's. Perhaps its a rocket powered lifeboat, ready for action ::) I thought it was wonderful mounted on its concrete plinth. It was situated just outside a Bulgarian military museum, which was closed when we found it, but some students came along and it was soon open. Inside there was an old ramp launched soviet missile, which would have had a forty kiloton warhead fitted at one time, a collection of field guns and artillery, and an old soviet helicopter, fascinating what you discover when you mooch around the backwaters of town. On this second visit to Bulgaria, the first thing I saw was an old cinema converted to a bingo hall, if I can find the piccy, I'll scan it up for you.

Looks like ther is a person at the bottom...That gives an indication of the size.  Massive comes to mind!
