Forgotten museum collection in Belgium

Recommended Posts

Just spotted this on the 28dayslater urban exploration site... http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=53218

 

They list it as "Depot Cromwell" in Belgium.

A collection that was to become a museum but never did.

There look to be some gems in there.

Anyone know anything about this? I've done a quick Google search for Depot Cromwell but it didn't bring anything up.

I imagine it isn't forgotton at least by the owner.... there is some expensive stuff in the photos, notice the PzIV drive sprocket on the racking, and the German pattern tyres, also that close up of some track.... is that from a Zdkfz 251 half track? The gun resting on the wheeled mount is again WW2 German looking at the muzzle break.

I recognise the background. I think that collection featured in W&T many years ago. The location was not given but i thought it was in France. It included the collection from the old museum in Dieppe which collapsed. Lots of interesting stuff there. Those photos represent only a miniscule proportion of the collection.
