Sean N Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Apparently the Ferrets were used to patrol the Iranian border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I would have thought that those plated over Sextons would have seen use as defacto APCs like the Rams & Preists did during WWII.... This is a Gun Position Officer version, these were used by artillery units: http://tank-photographs.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/Sexton-spg-GPO-Gun-Position-offficer.html Of course no one knows what they were used for at the end of their service life, APC is an option, but maybe even as a skip by the garrison garbage man :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex van de Wetering Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 https://www.flickr.com/photos/raihan...7646844507471/Abandonned near Rawalpindi. I foresee a few gentlemen around here mounting an expedition! Interesting collection. (I think I have seen pics of the M4 HST's somewhere before...) Is that a Staghound turret on one of the M32's?

timerover51 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I know of a US Marine Corps M3 Stuart abandoned on what used to be called Arundel Island in the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, and at least on Japanese Model 95 Light Tank on a sunken freighter off of Vella Lavella Island in the same area. The Stuart is stranded in a swamp, so not that easy to get at, but the Japanese tank is readily available in the cargo hold of the sunken freighter. Hard to say if more are out there.
