the_shadock Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I've seen it in Swanton Morley in June, 2014. It has moved quite recently. P-O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattie Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 There is a Sherman outside 3 Div HQ Picton Barracks Bulford and another outside RTR HQ Tidworth nether can be seen from outside the barracks. There was another Sherman painted sand colour at the now closed Erskin Barracks Salsbury .HQ land forces went to Andover but I am sure the Sherman is not there.

Bazz Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I believe its decals show it as 13th/18th during WW2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animated Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 There is a Sherman outside 3 Div HQ Picton Barracks Bulford and another outside RTR HQ Tidworth nether can be seen from outside the barracks. Please see attached images of the Sherman outside 3 Div HQ as of April this year. I can confirm it still has an engine, or at least a large rust-coloured metal lump in the engine bay, as the rear doors are partially open. The HQ also used to have a Russian Zis-3 76mm field gun (donated by the Afghan MoD in 2002) outside, however it had been removed shortly before I left, possibly for cosmetic restoration as it was looking a little sorry for itself.

horrocks Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Interesting that the unloved 13/18th turret numbering style rather closely resembles that on German tanks, which must surely have been potentially hair-raising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
