Hi there, where is the US Sub, UK? I went aboard the U-Boat In Birkenhead before it was cut up, and three U-Boats in Germany. (HMS Alliance in Portsmouth).

There was a Sherman at the same Tankfest as the Holt in photo taken. A complete restoration and paintjob, with ancillaries and the owners paid approx £200,000 i believe. Is the price comparison similar due to age and rarity? No museum will have the cash, i would have thought.

Is there an estimate?

Should the title of the thread be changed to Raiders of the Lost Tanks? or Eddy8men and the Last Crusade® Tank? Tee Hee

Hello there.

I did the compactor course at Waterbeach when i was in the T.A. Lovely bit of kit. Are they still there?

France. A more or less complete, but wrecked, Tiger II (production turret) is buried under regional road 913. Parts of the turret were recovered in a limited exploratory excavation in 2001. Further excavation is currently halted for financial reasons. There are plans to fully excavate and restore this Tiger II for a Vexin battle memorial Artist, i think if you are like me and 'resting' at the moment, we could go over and undercover of the night, remove the road and Tiger. What do you think? Then we could write the screenplay for the movie-tie in while in a French prison. Or take the option for Foreign Legion service. I'll get me shovel.:cool2:

As an archaeologist, there is a saying i like to go by, "If in doubt, dig it out"! :-D

I know this thread was a while ago, but unearthing old things seems to be the main topic, 'fnarr' Mantes-la-Jolie, France.

I have seen many of the same type of thing be it of different regimental cap badges. Templates were printed in newspapers, enabling people to embroider their cap badge of choice. Sort of a home front patriotic sampler. Different sizes appear to have been available. First and second war periods.

Hello there.

David Fletcher at the Tank Museum, davidf@tankmuseum.org I also believe there is a volunteer helping restoring one of the Valentines at the TM, who has done extensive research on the vehicle. What is the question you are wanting to know?

Are you after a copy with illustrations, or did you take the pics out?

Just to whet your apetite, itch with antcipation and start thinking how do i get my hands on that; the National Army Museum are giving away a Crossley-Kegresse half track, 30cwt truck. Only to accredited museums.
