paulbrook Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) One M74, ex-Belgium and the other that came from Kosovo was a M32 Just checking ......:-) I know the M32 came from Kosovo, and if that is the only M74 then I am confident I know about that too! It is brilliant to think that it is running - well done to all concerned. M32 next. I seem to remember (but could be wrong, it's happened before) that had a radial in it?

I seem to remember (but could be wrong, it's happened before) that had a radial in it? yes it has all fully reconditioned,just needs the fuel pump to finish,the rest of it is in a pretty sorry state so it will not be running anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrook Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have a whole bunch of pictures somewhere of the M32 in Pristina, but I can't seem to find them. Must be my age.... I might also have a picture with the M74 in the background in about 1982...but that will almost certainly be a slide and take even longer to find. But it was in Germany not Belgium.

Paul, Way back in the mists of time, do I recall that the M74 was exchanged with a Saladin, as the Germans used to use them for Border Patrols, and had not got an example of one?

Oooh no - it had been liberated by then... Technically speaking it was originally exchanged for an empty space where a M74 used to be. There were other deals thereafter (the last of which, as I recall, was never honoured, as the promised conqueror hulk never arrived. By the time anyone noticed the Berlin wall had come down).
