peterjankers Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 My father was a Churchill tank commander in WWII, first with 153 Rgt, then 147 and then 107. I believe he was brewed up twice and ended up with I believe a Mark VII named Bethume. I would love to know what eventually happened to this tank any ideas, anyone? Also, is there anywhere in SE England where I could take a look at a Churchill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draganm Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 best place to look is the "surviving panzers" website. They have all the Churchill's (and everything else) there in PDF format that is regularly updated. The chances of his particular vehicle surviving are very slim, and the chances of any original war time paint or markings even less so, but it doesn't hurt to look. By the time restorers got to these (starting in the 1980's?), most were ins crap yards or on firing ranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
