Rlangham Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Went to Norfolk for a couple of days earlier this week and visited the Muckleburgh Collection - great museum full of tanks, softskins, artillery etc, great food and location as well.

Meteor mark 4B Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 There used to be a Centurion and a Chieftain at Muckleburgh. Any sign of them when you visited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlangham Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Yep they're both still there, on my visit they were next to the Bedford QL in the new tank hall. The Comet tank that used to be on the front gate isn't there, probably in one of the buildings for restoration. The Churchill Crocodile is there instead now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I've never seen the camouflage on the Sherman like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I've got a small scale model of a Sherman in those colours and it was described as "Cobra Pattern" camo. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlangham Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 I've seen quite a few US Shermans in those colours in colour photos, but none of British tanks (then again haven't seen many British Shermie in NW Europe photos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
