    A three page report about the three tanks at the Budby training ground,part of Proteus traing camp, apeared in Windscreen magazine December 1988 edition. The Curchill reportedly was to be restored at bovington and then to be taken to Normandy to be used as a commeration to the D day landings.The complete Cent was to be taken to a range for use as hard target no mention was made as to the fate of the Cent Chassis (not Sherman).

    Have just reread the whole of the restoration blog having seen yor latest post.What an epic restoration, an inspiration to us all . Cant wait to see it at Dorset if i can get in front of all the other admirers. Many thanks for what i consider to be the best thread on the forum.

    Gone into silence mode on this thread so Shall be taking my showmans living van + 9x9 and as such all Diamond T entrants may use as open house getogethers etc" beer drinking not excluded." Graham aka "EGG 159" is travelling down with me as second man and will be bringing his Diamond T photo albums and hopefully some of his excellent Diamond T models for us to look at. Does any one on the forum have the capability of recording on disc or video of what could be the biggest gathering of Diamond T,s ever since WW II ?. Maybe as a commercial venture i know i would purchase a copy.:-D

    Looks more like a Federal,the wings and bonnet sides are certainly more Federal looking than Diamond T.
