Spot the difference

Can you spot the 23 differences in these images? The first one is the original.

The original photograph is mine, and all editing is mine. Feel free to print off copies for yourself, family, anyone-else (non-commercial) for the purpose of solving the puzzle.
You may mark the differences on the second image and republish it within this thread on the understanding that the same licence applies to the resulting image. Alternatively, just describe the differences.

Same licence? I must've missed the bit where you mentioned any licence!

I spotted 15 differences (that'll be the easy ones) in a quick play yesterday evening. But even if I find the rest of them, I don't see a way to republish the marked-up version without it being a complete spoiler.

I suppose one might ask whether the truncated cloud and missing tiny clouds at I8 count as a single difference or more than one?

They count as one.

Well done so far UncleEbenezer for the correct answers.

CONFESSION TIME
I missed one of the differences.
THERE ARE 24 DIFFERENCES TO FIND. My apologies.

Well that's a relief! 'Cos that's how many I found. However, I did cheat somewhat ....

If you right click on each picture and Open Image in New Tab (or whatever similar function your browser provides) you can then flick between the two tabs and the differences flash in/out fairly clearly. Although some are pretty tiny so zooming the two helps.... :D

Heh. Once upon a time I wrote software to do better than that: it could (among other things) superimpose part or all of one image on the other, flip between the two, or slide gradually by changing transparency on a superimposed layer. Perhaps I should've used it!

To check my puzzle, I used photoshop with each image on a different layer. Switching the top layer on and off effectively switches between the two images.

Inverting the top layer and reducing its opacity to 50% produces an image which is grey except where the two original images differ.

That is cheating, however, and I suggest that differences found using such methods should not be posted.

It was taken at last year's "Temple at War" show at Cressing Temple Barns in Essex.

Follow the "Historic Miliatry Vehicles" link for a photo of two of the trucks taken when the lighting was more favourable. (My clouds are better, though.)

Last year, we met Herr Flick and Helga, https://www.forces.net/radio/allo-allo- ... life-essex

Even cheating with "BeyondCompare" it wasn't immediately obvious what the changes were

- Great job!

For those who haven't cheated and need some clues for the remaining four,

None of the remaining differences are on the vehicles themselves. One of the subtle differences is on something attached to a vehicle.
