Nice to see a subtly understated Remembrance Day memorial, with no music and nothing for sale to spoil the ambience.

 

In UK, 11th November is Remembrance Day when we remember the dead of all wars.

I like it too

This has always been my favourite garage (or a variant of it... Aslains mod pack had the 2016 one I think as a garage mod, always went for that).

 

On a total side note, 11 November is Armistice Day in Belgium and France - you know, celebrating the surrender of Germany in WW I). There were EU meetings planned in my field, which I'd had to attend (virtually - would get a holiday on a day of choice in the next 3 months in return anyway, was fine for me). But apparently France wasn't quite as happy to go along with that. I wonder if the German presidency of said EU meeting had anything to do with it.

Just for info: 

 

Remembrance day is observed by all members of the Commonwealth, as well as many countries outside this group, not just the UK.  It is to remember those that died in the line of duty from these countries.

 

Lest we forget.

Remembrance day evolved from Armistice Day, which as said is commemorated on the 11th in many countries around the world under different names.  As you say, it is still called Armistice day in Belgium & France, but also know as Veterans Day in the US.  Possibly interestingly the Armistice itself was actually signed shortly after 5am on the 11/11/1918 but did not take effect until the 11th hour.

I sometimes wish I could "v" the garage.

That's also a mod, hangar manager.

If I could I'd have the 2017/18 christmas garage forever.

In France it also has evolved into something similar to 'Remembrance Day' a few years ago. All people fallen for France are honored this day, alongside the WWI Armistice.

What an upgrade indeed, insane.

[Lanrefni]

I just want my void minimal garage.

but this does look nice, almost like Sabaton.

[GalmTwo]

It's great. That begs the question, though. Will WG implement a(an official) garage picker, alá WoWS?

Indeed, those Christmas garages are the ones that make me yearn for a free camera mod in the garage only (but that would probably come with free cam in the battle which is too suspicious for me to contemplate)

Saaaame. There's just something so cozy about it.

The hanger manager mod earlier mentioned has free camera, and that is not at all linked to free cam in battle (which as far as I know doesn't exist) or free cam in replays (which does exist).

I always like the outdoors, so this garage is deffo approved

[Discontinued]

Not a big fan as my minimal hangar mod doesn't work with these crazy backdrops.

[spuriousmonkey]

I would be ok with just a black background screen.

 Yeah well back in those days people were basically walking with a cuckoo clock on their back just to know what time it was so no big surprise there that they needed a few hours let everybody know.

Agreed.
