It appears very briefly in the background of the opening scene, portraying a destroyed Hydra tank in the woods. I submitted an entry for it but it was rejected by imcdb. There is only one behind the scenes photo of it that I can find. Link to "media.comicbook.com" If anyone happens to know what happened to it after filming was done I'd like to know. It was originally on display at the Bovington Tank Museum, who decided they didn't want it and sent it to be scrapped, only for the scrapper to sell it to the movie makers, and it hasn't been seen since.

This scene was filmed in either Bourne Woods or Hawley Woods, near Farnham, England. The tank was left in the woods after they finished filming, and some time later it disappeared, probably scrapped.

And here are two behind the scenes pictures. They beat the crap out of it for the movie to make it look destroyed. This scene was filmed in either Bourne Woods or Hawley Woods, near Farnham, England.
