Quite afew FT17 turrets survive that are/were on bunkers, also WW2 French tank turrets. There's even a couple of them in Vietnam!

Scrapped, they weren't even powerful enough to be used as artillery tractors.

How very clever! I've got - Fw190 on the gate infront of the children Liberator on the bridge parapet Spitfire on the back of the carriage B29 on the luggage trolley Sunderland in the puddle the dog's lapping Stuka on the signal gantry B26, P51 & Ki61 "Tony" in the tree by the children.

Quite extensive use by the Wermacht, as local defense & anti-partisan work. The 3 in Norway were used for airfield defense, for example.

The Polish Army's claimed this one. Hopefully it will be recovered & preserved.

Utah Beach Sherman is an M4A1E8.

It was on display in the Landwarfare Hall.

That one depends, the German "Ambush" schemes were factory applied.

A&S in Suffolk did the PzIV that went to Jordan recently, might be worth dropping them a line.

Someone's beaten you to it!

Hell's Bells! Mind you, there's a fair few Youtube bits with low fliers. Blue Angels go low!

Never heard of this gun before, were any issued in WW2?

T55, it lacks the mushroom ventilator on the turret roof.

Go to any place, where there's going to be a lot of people, the more crowded the better & you'll find the pondlife that'll thieve from you.

Jhfc!

Not entirely correct. The writing was on the wall for piston engined aircraft, especially fighters. Look at the amount of kit, of all types, that was dumped at the end of WW2, especially in the Far East. P40s, location unknown. B24s A heap of P38s, ready for burial at Clark Field in the Phillipines. These are still buried, they're beneath the power station site, so aren't going to be enearthed in the foreseeable future, despite the best efforts of some rather rich Americans! The cost of bringing these planes back to the UK/USA, where they would only be scrapped anyway, was more than their value. Reload onto trucks/railways, offload at docks, reload onto ships, sail back to the UK, offload, truck/train to disposal point, add to the thousands of Allied & Axis planes, all awaiting scrapping. Remember that the Yanks couldn't be bothered to ship back to the US half of the planes they'd sent to Europe, including brand new ones! Also, they weren't "state of the art", Spitfire XIVs had been superceded by the Mk21, 22 & 24, it's more like thinking along the line that they were Tornado GR1, so not even upto GR4 standard. It also gave the thousands of men, waiting to be shipped home & demobbed, something to do! Some planes were sold/given to the newly liberated countries of the CBI theatre, Spitfires to Burma, for instance, but there's only so many they'd need and the Yanks would be as keen to offload Mustangs as we'd be to get shut of obsolete Spitfires.

There was talk about crated Seafires & Corsairs, being dumped off carriers. That went very quiet too! May turn out to be one of these "There's a Tiger tank in that lake" stories.

If you've any photos to add to the ones on "Surviving Panzers", I'm sure P-O would love to have them.

Valentine dozer conversion, Don Rhodes mining & transport museum, Port Hedland. Another ex-dozer was being run by a company called "Mad Trax", was for sale about 5 years ago. Several more in New Zealand. Grants. Peter Ray, Nanago, Queensland. "Rod" (Keyes?) Western Australia. Grant hull, vis-modded as a Sherman for a film. Lots of Grant hulls out there, as to whether any are runners, without major work, is hard to say.

Interesting how the Scimitars loaded with no problems, but the Sultan struggled to get onto the transporter. Were they tail-heavy?

Looks like an engine & a couple of wheels to me!
