A Second World War tank has been loaned to the makers of the latest Brad Pitt, pictured, movie, which is being filmed in the village of Shirburn.

The Tiger 131, from the Tank Museum in Bovington, Dorset, is the only one of its kind in the world still in working order and will be used in new war epic Fury.

It was used by the Nazis and could destroy enemy tanks from more than two kilometres away.
