Pzkpfw-e Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 From the Kuril Islands. Washed out by the Tsunami in '96? Here's one in-situ. The islands are littered with wrecks from WW2 and later, Japanese & Russian (Plus the odd American plane too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo578 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 :thumbsup:Good pics- first time I've seen what looks like model 1949 as a bunker, model 1949 turrets which had a bustle and the normal style D10t gun mount (the model 1946 had a mantlet and a bustle) it would be interesting to if any model 1946 were used in these bunker systems.

steveo578 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 There was a Channel 4 (i think) documentary about Lockheed Ventura bombers flown by US forces form the Alutians and at least one had crashed on the Kiruls it would be very interesting to see anything regarding this comparatively rarely reported type in US service.

Pop over to Com-Central http://www.com-central.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=13742 Also a bit of Google image work, using Kuril, Shumshu & tank, using Russian works for different vehicles.
