pstansell Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I was hoping that I might find someone with in service shots of this beast. Or perhaps of one restored? Thanks! Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 This pic of a restored Canadian type was taken in Normandy in 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond 981 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 This pic of a restored Canadian type was taken in Normandy in 2004 I believe that this is LMSW-53. LMSW 23 was built with a steel body similar to diamond t 980/ 981 . Geoff Maskell from Seaham did have one ,Might still have it.Joe Gillatt from Notts has a unrestored one.

Was the 23 the one supplied to the British Army , that had a single boom and a steel body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
