Jagdpanthers and Panthers mid-construction at a factory in Hannover.

There is a lot to see in this image, including 6 Jagdpanthers and three Panthers.

Between the rows of vehicles, we can see plenty of road wheels. In front of them are two transmissions, one of which is on a stand.

Closer, there are eight Maybach HL 230 V12 engines that powered the Panther and Jagdpanther.

A ninth engine can be seen installed in the Panther on the right, and the stack of pallets near the bottom of the image suggests others are fitted with engines too.

Looking through the gun opening in the closest Jagdpanther, we can just see some torsion bars, the top of the transmission and the drive shaft coming from the engine at the rear.

At the back, the engine cooling fans are fitted.

Can you spot anything's else?

The family of a man who was kicked in the head by police at Manchester Airport has appealed for "calm in all the communities", an MP has said. Paul Waugh, Rochdale MP, said the "traumatised" family wanted to make it clear they had "no political agenda whatsoever" and did not condone political violence. Anger over the video led to protests outside Rochdale police station on Wednesday and Thursday nights, with another protest also held in Manchester city centre on Thursday. Mr Waugh said the family would not be attending any protests or giving any media interviews as they wanted their privacy protected. "The strong message they wanted to give is that they have no political agenda whatsoever," he told BBC Breakfast. "They wanted me to issue an appeal for calm among all sorts of different communities in Rochdale. "We've had a history of unfortunate division in our town and we do not want to go back to those days." He said the famil...
