wasnt there an article in the late bart vanderveens mag (wheels and Tracks) about the original and the replica then being made in Germany?

As Great war Truck says, it was covered in W&T a while ago, work done around 89/90 with as many of the original manufacturers as possible contributing replica parts.

(If anybody wants to read the W&T article, I'd be happy to scan it in and email if you send me a PM. For those with a set, it's issue #35)

'Mephisto' in Brisbane is the only 'real' survivor.

The Aberdeen Tigger was over from Munster for a tarting up by Mr. W's team.

I believed it to have already winged it's way back to Aberdeen, (though it may still be in storage as I recall the original plane that was going to take it home had a little accident, that was a fair while back though).

The rumour-mill implied that there was to be some blueprinting done during it's stay in Leicestershire, with the thought of building a replica... but hey, that's the rumour-mill, so you never really know .

Cheers,

Few more:

A big thank-you to all you people that bring vehicles.

Thanks for the pics, kind of sad to be reminded of what a great museum it was.

Does anybody know where that 2Pdr portee Bedford (?) from shot number one might have ended up?

Hi there,

Green-eyed inducing collection though it is, it seems it's not actually Charlton heston's but belonged to one 'Bruce Stern'.

Thanks & well done to the Admin Team, I'm very new here, and hadn't posted yet, but really do sympathise with such a nightmare on such an interesting forum.
