Like heaps of Sherman & Stuart suspension units, wheels, tracks, final drives, M4, M5, M6 & M8 HSTs (Only 40 or so, M4s, mind you, so better hurry if you want one), some trucks & the rear unit from an "Atomic Annie". Now, that would make for a very interesting restoration.

Turning nasty!

But on a better note, a very well preserved P40 has been found in the Egyptian desert.

My job as a salesman, takes me around various bits of Nottingham-,Lincoln- & Cambridgeshires

Quite a few lumps of old concrete can be seen, especially in the flatbits around the Fens, so here's the start of a selection of what I come across.

This one's sat in a field, at the A141/A605 junction, outside of March. Most of the ones I see, are the hexagonal, MG/rifle slots in some of the faces. This one's obviously designed for a much bigger weapon!

It can be seen on Google Earth. 52°35'28.73"N 0° 3'24.58"E

I reckon they're Lancia Triotas.

In a Nuneaton farmyard.

If you look at what state the MkI, P9374, was when it was recovered.

As to how much of the original(s) will make it into the final, flying, restoration(s), is a moot point!

My word, ex WW2 German leFh18 105mm.

They're more likely to be MkXIV, the MkIV was the Griffon-engined test version & never saw squadron service.

The info in the papers is piss-poor, the Telegraph even reported them as being "jet engined"!

It was one of his Command Tanks, still at the IWM.

This plane still exists, it's been in store at The National Aviation Museum of Canada, located in Ottawa.

It still retains its original WW2 paint, a great rarity!

The Boeing YB52, first flew 15th April, 1952. The B52H is still expected to see service until 2045!

I got several like that too.

Maybe it's a bit of an on-going project, with a lot of stuff still to add?

The next .pdf for "Surviving Panzers" is for the M3A3 Stuart.

Anyone care to post here if they've got one/know of one? Any photos that can be used would be appreciated.

Don't make very good bobsleighs!

Interesting find that, especially that there are still craters to be seen!

You don't blow up a 1 tonne warhead, unless you really need to.

Only having a 40m exclusion zone, suggests that it going BANG isn't expected.

The photos show the combustion chamber & venturi, the question is, "How much of the rest is sunk into the mud"?

Slightly larger picture of one already posted. Big bomb, US version of a Grand Slam?

Yesterday afternoon, a pair of F15s flew low over me, heading towards Waddington. Very dark grey overall. Boeing Sentry out and about yesterday & today, too. Must be the sun bringing them all out!

I started on forums, with the now defunct, "Panzer Aces". Since in some circles, having an interest in WW2, tanks & the like, can get you a label as a Nazi Lover, I picked my pseudonym of Pzkpfw-e. This in german nomenclature, indicates a captured & reused English afv!

Never mind the "No hand signals", what about the max speed of 35mph! Christ of a pushbike, that'd be frightening seeing that coming towards you at 35mph (What's it's top whack, btw?)

I have a recollection of similar dumping overboard, being mentioned about the return of the Canberra from The Falklands.

My father told me, that his father brought a nice Mauser pistol back. Father & a friend took it out to try, putting a shot into a fairly substantial tree.

They started to try & dig the bullet out, failed to do so, then checked the opposite side of the tree & found the exit hole!

I've just got the Kriegsmarine dagger & sheath, that he brought back, plus a cap band from an Italian submariner, plus the keys for HMS Havant's No2 magazine. Probably the only bit of that ship still on the surface, the rest being somewhere off Dunkirk.

Got an 88mm Flak shell & cartridge case (deac), bought that some years back.

I wonder if any of them featured in Frituur Zorro?

My late father, was a keen advocate of lobbing a Polaris Argentina's way!
