Well, life is hard.
-
Actually, not finally! A couple more Rams this time on Fingringhoe. Both now recovered for restoration.
-
Finally, an M74 that Budge put out onto STANTA, now recovered and privately owned.
-
An ex-Pounds BARV on SPTA. The tracks from this went to an M7B2 now with the Jaques Littlefield collection.
-
A couple of M40 GMCs. Kilo is from Sennybridge and is now with Rex Cadman and the other is ex-Bassingbourn, ex STANTA and now privately owned.
-
One of a few Sextons on SPTA. The thin hull doesn't stand up too well to HE!
-
A few Sherman family vehicles now. An M10 on Catterick filled with concrete.
-
The last of the SPTA M4A4s is another of Davids pics from 1987 showing what I believe is Preston Isaacs being recovered.
-
This is one of David Herberts pics from 1987. I assume the turret was placed there rather than landed like that!
-
Another selection of battered M4A4s.
-
This is the old demo target that used to be on display at Duxford. Quite why it was put back out as a target, I can't imagine. It had 2 pr and 6 pr solid shot stuck in it.
-
These are yet more on SPTA. The ones in the impact area really get a hammering.
-
This is one we rolled over to recover belly plates (for me) and road wheels for the ATDU Ram. If you've got the kit......
-
The top one donated it's turret to the bottom one which Carl Brown part restored. It's now at RR Services.
-
This one was also recovered and is under restoration with Ken Lyons in NI.
-
Another miscellaneous pair but they all have something to give! I got an escape hatch out of the second one. You can see it lying in front next to the camera bag.
-
This one was recovered and is now owned by Jim Clark.
-
Another.
-
This is a typical wreck but I did get a seat for mine out of it.
-
This one was recovered for a memorial but ended up in the Netherlands. What you can't see clearly is in the mound of earth, there is three links of Tiger 1 battle track!
-
Shermans proper now! These are all M4A4s on Salisbury Plain. This one is now on static display in a US museum. The two tone colour is a photo printing error!
-
These are a couple on Salisbury Plain. The second of these ended up as a gate guard outside ATDU at Bovington.
-
Rams always featured quite heavily on ranges. The first is one of several that were on Pirbrite.
-
Here is the Grizzly that used to sit outside the Tank Museum, now outside Stanley Barracks I think. It was recovered from Sennybridge by the TA. The Foden makes it look small!
-
These are the two Grizzlies from Otterburn that Dave Arnold used to make one in Tank Overhaul. They were in much better condition when I took these! (1988)
