    This is a picture of ten Sherman's at ROF Nottingham lined up outside the Admin building. We assume they were there having been converted with the 17 Pdr. ordnance. The number of the first vehicle here appears to be T255024. Another one of the vehicles seems to be T212519 from a picture taken inside the workshop itself. Unfortunately neither image we have is really sharp so the other numbers can't be read. These were scanned from various sources, including glass plate negatives, when the factory was closed down in 2000. You may be able to identify which variant they are.

    They are Vc (M4A4) the Spacing can't be quite seen at that angle nor the undercut hoods (Another ID of an M4A4, the Antenna Pot is M4A4 and the biggest ID feature is the Armoured Fillet covering the drain hole at the rear of the turret splash ring
