Richard Farrant Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 What are the Tracked Shed's used for? :dunno: A strong guess is that they are observation posts to observe and film the impact of the shell on its target. The green one has windows in the side with gantries out of the side for cameras. This range is probably for testing ammunition, rather can a normal gunnery range.

Poptopshed Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Makes sense. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I thought you might like to see some of the pics from my ranges album. I've picked a selection of rarer items, so you don't have to wade through endless shots of Shermans, Centaurs, Churchills etc.... :cry: First up, the two Grizzlies that were used to make one in Tank Overhaul. I took these in 1987 and 1988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joris Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Great, great photos Andy! What is a Sherman Grizzly? Never heard of that before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Who's Andy? :dunno: Anyway......., the Grizzly is a Canadian assembled M4A1 Sherman. Montreal Locomotive Works built 188 from July to December 1943. They followed the Ram on the production line. Only used for training in Canada during the war but supplied to Portugal post war. Ian McGregor imported about 45 in the 1980s and some ended up on ranges. Actually not that common in the UK now, can think of 9 1/2 off the top of my head.

tichenor Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Priest range wreck in Italy:http://www.ferreamole.it/images/bersagli/bersagli.htm I know this tread was started long ago, but those aren't Priests. Drivershatch on the wrong side 25Pdr gun so that makes it a Sexton. Michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The fourth on the top and the fifth on the bottom rows are Priest, all the rest are Sexton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
