Versluys previously bought 50 Leopard 1 tanks for €37,000 each (about £29,600) that the Belgian government decommissioned in 2014 as part of a wider trend among western countries of cutting defence spending.

I never thought of myself as someone who'd own a tank, but at prices like that it actually seems like a realistic, attainable goal.

Who'd issue a ticket to a guy in a tank though?
