    hello, do somebody know where the Isle of Wight WW2 vehicles ended up? I know that Bovington has some in storage (Churchill, large hatch M4A1). What about the 4 Comets, the Sexton, Centaur Dozers, etc..? thanks Pierre-Olivier

    Jon, I've updated the PDF list today, and your first Staghound is part of the list since few months.. kind regards Pierre-Olivier

    I'm surprised (but not too much) to know that the two halves of a Grizzly in bad condition are being restored anyway.. Pierre-Olivier
  4. the_shadock
    what's the status of the M4A1 75mm that was put together from two halves? P-O

    Hello, I think that this tank belonged to the Melbourne Tank Museum in VIC until late 2006, right? Pierre-Olivier

    I've found a cap !!
  7. the_shadock
    and if some sort of very kind person has a cap for it, I would very gladly receive it :-D P-O

    well, the previous owner told me that the can has been found near Argentan, in Moulins sur Orne, along the railway. However, he was not sure that the can was abandoned there in 1944 (even if the area was liberated by British troops of the 53rd Infantry Division), and this could be a remain of the 1940 battles, as you mentioned. Who knows... Pierre-Olivier

    I can read "Valor 10 37". P-O

    bought today.. Pierre-Olivier
  11. the_shadock
    thanks a lot for the answers. Pierre-Olivier
  12. the_shadock
    thanks for the information, I'd be happy to get its serial number. I agree with you, I've seen the M4A2 in US markings at Tanks in Town. Glad to see it in British markings one week later !! Alex van de Wetering, there was also an M4A1 named "Berjou", which was built by Lima LW in 1943 I think. Any guess about the owner, or even the country it comes from? thanks Pierre-Olivier

    hello guys, I'm looking for the current location and/or the serial number of this beautifully restored M4A4. It could be SN 17260 from a private owner in Bristol, or 19106 from a private owner in Ashendon, or 19406 from Kent area... (19106 and 19406 could be the same tank in fact) thanks for any clue.. Pierre-Olivier

    well I knew this, should have checked my own website before putting silly things on forums... lol Fortunately there is always someone to correct the mistakes :-D P-O

    Kenny, let me know if you would like that we meet. I'm not busy tomorrow, nor will I be during next week-end. Pierre-Olivier

    well, in Normandy there are a lot of monument tanks that participated to th landings : the Centaurs at Hermanville and Bénouville, the Churchill at Graye sur Mer, the Sherman V Duplex Drive at Courseulles, the M4A1 DDs at Port en Bessin, probably most of the surviving Sherman BARVs as well.. P-O
  17. the_shadock
    I like this vehicle, even if it is not part of my main interest, which is WW2 armor. P-O
  18. the_shadock
    so there are 4 different runners with a multibank? P-O
  19. the_shadock
    as far as I know, it is SN 5598, and it belongs to a private collector in Saint Paul, MN, USA. It is one of three known runners with the Multibank. P-O
  20. the_shadock
    I wish I could find them... Pierre-Olivier

    Lance, I could get a K jerrycan for 50€ and bring it in UK in late June, when I will be visiting some museums. Let me know if you are interested.
  22. the_shadock
    that's what I think too, I'll try to know more in June when I will visit. P-O
  23. the_shadock
    the Isle of Wight has/had a Challenger, but I think that it was on loan from Bovington.. P-O
  24. the_shadock
    the other thing.. I really would like to know what it is. P-O
  25. the_shadock
