    The limber, fully loaded, weighs in at about 3,000lbs. Carries 32 rounds, so there's 800lbs off, I can't find any info on the weight of a cartridge, so take a guess! Let's say the empty limber weighs around 2,000lb. The gun's 4.7m from tow ring to muzzle, limber looks about 2/3rds that length.

    From Wiki. Looks like the spare wheel is the obvious feature.

    And flying! OK, it's a replica, but by my reckoning, the first 262 in British airspace, since November 1945. IMG_6220.MOV

    Crude can be refined to produce different amounts of products, petrol was originally a pretty much unusable fraction, paraffin was what was sought. Plastics tend to be produced from gaseous precursors, rather than from oil per se.

    The Stuarts (Honeys to be exact, as they were in British service) often had their turrets removed when used in the recce role, the 37mm being of little use post-42-43. Some pictures in this MU forum post. Stuart VI Recce (was: Stuart Recce replacement) - MLU FORUM (mapleleafup.net) The artillery tractors appear to have undergone more radical surgery, having a rectangular cut-out in their top armour, rather than just a turret removed & collar fitted around the aperture. ultravanillasmurf: M5 Combat Vehicle Stuart Gun Tractor (Stuart VI) I doubt if any turreted Stuarts remained in British service for very long after WW2 ended.
