A 26-foot-long Buffalo tank is extracted from the earth in Crowland, Lincolnshire, where it has been buried for 74 years since it was brought into the village to help during heavy floods in March 1947. Sixteen of the amphibious Buffalo tanks were used to help seal the breach when a combination of heavy snow, high tides, rain and wind caused the River Welland to break its banks.
