hey mick on part 3 there's a centaur in the clip at 2.05 just in front of the grizzly

It looks like it, that's the leftover armour behind the old 4th Cavalry Regiment's museum at Santa Margarida barracks.

Yes, they are indeed very good. I was considering the complexities and expense of recovering a DD from India. The solution, very complex and very expensive. I hope someone does it though.

That DD Sherman is on an old Indian army firing range and photos are only from 2014 so there is a good chance it's still sitting there.

so you are the guy responsible for the best tank video's around, what you do that nobody else does is give the locations and a bit of background which must take a lot of research and for that I thank you. keep it up for all our benefit and yes I have been scheming about how to recover some of them

Thanks Eddy

Part 2 is more interesting, includes the PzIV on the Golan Heights.

I've not seen the one at 1-07 before.

Up-dated version of Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFalmuL7tEI

I have made ten films so far, glad you like them as it take a lot of work to find the correct location.

I personal would love to get hold of the DD Sherman in India (Part 8

Anyway you can see them all at

Sorry same music on all of them as its copyright free.

I can help, I have a 17.5 ton flatbed with winch?

They used all sorts, this is not a CCKW or a Green line Bus, I was told they used Bedfords also?

The first one has a Russian or Chinese red star on the turret

Anybody got any idea what these are, the first two have different wheels?

Lets see what the police turn up?

Question - That phone call out-of-the-blue. How did they get your phone number?

Nobody knows, they phoned the owner and I had not put that info out on the net.

Its a strange one that’s for sure, the owner is so happy to have it back as he thought it had gone abroad.

The Bolster has been found in Warfield, all complete and in good condition apart from the shovel and jerry cans missing.

The owner got a call from an anonymous call from somebody saying it was parked up in Warfield, he went up there and there it was dumped on the road.

He drove it back so everything is running ok.

Thanks for all your help guys, please keep an eye out for the Gas firing 50cals and 30cal that are still missing.

it will be a priority if only for the fact de activated weapons have gone,

Our 50 and 30cals are gas firing crossfire models, so not classed as De-acts.

The police have been down to the W&P site and checked it out, they found two CCTV cams but both were not working.

No other info has come back.

We have had a few different reports of people seeing the truck being taken.

First was the green flat bed with the start on the door, the second was "LIGHT COLOURED BIG SCANNIA OR VOLVO ....THE DRIVER WORE A DARK BLUE POLO TOP WITH WHITE STRIPES ABOUT 2 INS' APART POSSIBLY ON BELGIAN PLATES"

Just talked to the owner, its still missing, no sight of the truck yet.

Thanks again for your help guys.

Regards

Hi Guy,

Everything has been reported to the police and dock authorities, I don’t think the police sound that interested in the truck or the equipment.

The gas 50cal can never be made live as they started life as crossfire model 50cal's that we converted to gas. The truck is being treated the same as a stolen car report it’s a wait and see if it turns up burn out (that’s it impression we got), I don’t think they will look at any CCTV.

Here's an update from Gordon of the kit stolen off the two Halftracks

2 x gas firing 50cals

1 x gas firing 30cal

2 x 50cal covers

1 x axe

2 x Bogie Wheels

4 x mines

1 x M3 Cover

1 x 50cal pintle, box & ammo

2 x WW2 dated jerry cans

Also 4 x headlights loose but not taken.

You can see the work Roy put into the Bolster

Thanks for all your help guys.

STOLEN from the W&P Low loader parking (outside the show area) our GMC Bolster truck,

Roy went to pick it up today and somebody has nicked it, they left the trailer there. so if you see a Bolster on a low loader with no trailer right down the truck reg number, maybe last seen this morning parked up off site in the W&P low loading area, not that you can miss it as it was mint, it won best large vehicle last year any info would be much appreciated.

Just had a PM saying maybe Lancia but not sure

Ok, that one was to easy ....not.

Try is one?

Ok this one next????

Well done, give that man a prize... Thanks
