  1. Fuel consumption and other information for some of the tanks on your list:- http://www.wwiiequipment.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=7&Itemid=56 For the others, you may have to search for individually.
  2. Good news, and thank you for update. đź‘Ť
  3. Page 5 onwards may interest you:- https://books.google.com/books/about/Handbook_of_Adhesive_Technology_Revised.html?id=XYbHqiapRjsC
  4. Hopefully, someone else on the forum will be able to help. Are you keen/desperate enough to have it imported to a local dealer, and then have the Bren deactivated to the current UK specification.
  5. Have you seen this one? https://roba.ee/en/shop/the-machine-gun-bren-mk2-l4a3-england/
  6. Have you asked here? Museum of the Northamptonshire Regiment and Northamptonshire Yeomanry Collections http://northamptonmuseums.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/the-northamptonshire-regiment-collection/ From this site:- http://www.panzerace.net/biography/the-final-battle.html The attack saw Wittmann’s 007 move north on the right side of the RN 158 out of Cintheaux. He was accompanied by signals officer Helmut Dollinger in the second command vehicle 009, and two vehicles from the 101st’s third company: 312 commanded by SS-Oberscharführer Peter Kisters and 314, a mount assigned to SS-Unterscharführer Otto Blase but commanded on that day by SS-Untersturmführer Willi Iriohn. Along with 007, these three vehicles were also hit. Taking the left flank was Tiger 313 under the command of SS-Hauptsturmführer Hans Höflinger, 334 with Heinz von Westerhagen’s younger brother SS-Oberscharführer Rolf von Westernhagen, and the squad leader’s Tiger 304 commanded by SS-Hauptsturmführer Franz Heurich. Westernhagen would manage to escape intact, as did Heurich who had taken up a safer position to the rear. Höflinger’s mount meanwhile was disabled to the left of the RN 158, but all of the crew had been able to escape. In all, five of the seven Tigers were put out of action during the attack.
  7. Isn't it the M4A4 / Vc or am I missing something? US designation British designation M4 Sherman Sherman Ic M4 Composite. Sherman Sherman Ic Hybrid M4A4 Sherman Sherman Vc The letter ” c ” at the end of the British designation indicates a vehicle equipped with a 17 Pdr main gun (a British M4A4 with a 75mm main gun is a Sherman V)
  8. Putting the information together from both sites, it is an M4A4 From this site:- http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Tank:GB95_Ekins_Firefly_M4A4 The Sherman VC Firefly is a British tier 6 premium medium tank. The British Sherman VC Firefly (A Squadron of the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry) was named after the Soviet town of Velikiye Luki. From this site:- https://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/can-tell-difference-firefly-guide-sherman-firefly.html The Firefly conversion was carried out on Sherman I (M4), Sherman I Hybrid (M4 Composite) and Sherman V (M4A4) tanks.

  22. MartinN Unable to see the engine model number, but if it is 'I' as per the Alaska Aviation Museum's one, the engine was made in July 1943. July's serial numbers run from 76259 to 78780 incl. with a total of 2521 produced, and yours being the 388th made, it would have been made in the first week of July.
  23. It may have been used to power a Teletypewriter TG-7-B The Alaska Aviation Museum has a Briggs & Statton engine powered Pioneer generator and a Teletype Model 15:- https://www.wy2.org/engines/engines-pe-77-d.php
