hello,
do someone know where the complete Conqueror and 2 hulls/wrecks went after the closure of the Isle of Wight museum please?
thanks

hello,
I may be off-topic here, sorry for that. Steve Zaloga mentions that UK received "104 M31 and M32 TRVs" as Lend Lease. Do someone know how many M31s and how many M32s exactly?
thanks

thanks to all for all the details and info.

well, if it has really been converted to a gun tank, that's really a shame. It was probably the only surviving example of an M32B1 with E9, and the only M32 still equipped with the automatic tow hook...
Maurice, do you have a photo of the tank in its current condition please?

Hello, do someone took one or more photo(s) of this M32B1 TRV, displayed at Keep Them Rolling meeting in september 2009? Thanks

thanks for all the answers. As the museum will open soon, all the team is busy right now, but we will get back to this in few months. At least I know who to ask.

well, for the average people visiting a museum, reproductions like the ones set up for the hill 112 would be enough, IMHO. Still better than nothing. However, let's see what the owner says...

Thanks in advance

Hello,
I'm looking for a photo of Winston Churchill climbing on turret of M4A1 "Michael", on 12 May, 1942. The photo should be IWM H 19595 but it doesn't seem to be on IWM website. Any guess where I could find it please?

I've seen it in Swanton Morley in June, 2014. It has moved quite recently.

Hello,
we are trying to find production/conversion figures for the Sherman ARV Mk I. This website says 220 were converted, including 30 M4A2 and 190 M4A4. Is it reliable?

Do someone own the book "Shermans in British Service" by John Sandars?
thanks
