The Sherman Calliope (T34) was more succesful.

"Few" produced (200?)

The one pictured with the pair of 60lb rockets, was called a Tulip, produced by the 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards for the Rhine crossings.

Numbers? I doubt if there are any official figures, as it looks like a unit conversion job.

I had the classic "loss of all photos apart from a few on facebook due to computer dying" moment, so not many left!

A few more.

At The Big Bunker, Ouistreham.

And more stuff tucked around the side at Falaise.

It's not on the roundabout anymore, I spent a long weekend in Falaise last year, stayed at the Ibis, opposite the supermarket.

There is a Sherman outside the main entrance of the August '44 museum.

Well worth a visit, well worth walking up the track to the left, where the "reserve collection" is stored.

Balancing on the rickety fence to peek inside the back of the old cheese factory:cool2:

What version of the IS?

1, 2, 3 or 4?

If it's an IS2, Kubinka has a few on their open storage lot (See the current edition of MMI) and there's a trio sat in the open at the naval base at Shumsu, in the Kuril Islands.

There is speculation that they may wind up at Yeovilton, being flown by RNVR pilots.

I won't put anymore thoughts here :angry, because the censor's pen would undoubtably be wielded!

Look like Panzerjäger 35R 731(f) (armed with 47mm Pak(t) L/43.4 gun) to me, there's one preserved at Thun, in Switzerland.

Castle Brom made Lancs too.

He's always interested in additions to the lists!

There's a Valentine 'dozer preserved in Pioneer park, Port Hedland, WA (Australia).

Whether it's a post-war conversion is another question. There are quite a few Valentine hulls in Australia, that were converted to agricultural tractors.

Alwal, as in MCEME Parade Grounds, RSI Institute, Alwal (India)

On this listing.

No Centaur ARVs are known to survive, several 'dozers however.

No MkI Churchill ARV either, Borden's MkII is the only one of its species, 3 or 4 MkIIIs exist (Cadman Bros, Alwal & Ahmednagar (India) and a possible one on the Haltern Training Area in Germany http://www.hartziel.de/index.htm?/haltern/index.htm )

"THURSDAY MORNING

PREPARATION FOR RENEWAL OF EXTREME COLD FROM FRANCE TO SCANDINAVIA AND WEST THROUGH THE UK SHOULD BE MADE"

"The central England Temperature (CET) from the 1st-7th of December is -1.9, making this the coldest opening week of December since 1879; 1879 is the coldest opening week on CET record, so this week has been the second coldest opening week to December since CET records began in 1659. The two-week period, last week of November and first week of December is the coldest since CET records began in 1659!"

:shocked:

OK folks.

This little gem resides in a museum in Italy. Anyone know what it is and who made it?

Oh and who is Deborah;).

A rather rough old girl in Flesquieres!

Excellent!

They need one of those around Binbrook, they've been virtually cut off for a few days.

In a museum in Wroclaw, Poland.

Labelled as a Borgward, looks a bit like a Borgward BII.

Come to Lincolnshire, we've got a bit of snow!

The various bits of the USSR, give up tank wrecks pretty often.

As for Panthers, nothing that could be described as "in perfect condition" has been found.

The one displayed at Sinsheim came from a bog in the Ukraine, it's still in its original paint, but as for perfection?

Littlefield's came out of a river in Poland, in very "second-hand" condition.

There's been a Stug in superb condition, now at Saratov

A PzIII from a river

And from another bog

The various T34 are well-known, the rest is very fragmentary.

Missing Tiger? There's precious few around, none have gone AWOL recently. The only potential candidate currently on display, is the battered remains at Lenino-Snegri.

The list of manufacturers is interesting, if we had to do it all again tomorrow who would now be capable of such manufacturing in the UK ?

Well, of those companies listed, Leyland, we all know about! Vauxhall's still going, but making tanks?

Beyer-Peacock shut in 1966

Metro-Cammel now part of Alstom, so still capable?

Broom & Wade - Now Compair, so heavy engineering its ballgame?

Newton Chambers only now remains as Ronseal, 'nuff said! There is (?) a Churchill on display outside their old factory in Sheffield. (Wiki entry says it's been moved)

Gloucester Waggon are now owned by Babcock, so I'd say they've the capabilities

Dennis - well, possibly?

Charles Roberts - now Prorail, so highly likely.

Well, one stands corrected!

I did notice a very smart Lightning and what looks like a Bloodhound missile outside a farm a little further down the road.

A very sorry-looking Hunter, slowly being dismembered just outside Woodhall Spa.:embarrassed:

Very common & noticeable phenomenum.

I guess it's this website you've found http://www.maritimequest.com/warship_directory/us_navy_pages/uss_iowa_bb61.htm

Since it's lobbing 16", 1,900lb shells, 20-odd miles, it needs a hell of a lot of energy to do so.

Here's the Tirpitz (A mere 15" calibre)

Lots of photos of these leviathans on this thread. http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?157795-Battleship-Thread

Interesting collection of vehicles in the Moscow area. A lot of softskin, including some German kit. The Morris? at the bottom of page 1, looks like it's in its original paint & markings.

What a wild creation!
