eddy8men Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 probably best to start a seperate thread on the covenanter from denbies vineyard before it gets lost inthe buried and abandoned tanks thread. i'll put the pics up later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Just seen the pics on the buried tanks thread. Congratulations, well done on a speedy find. Looking forward to more news and photo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1960 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Congratulations and well done !! :-D Looks very chalky soil...is that a good thing or bad thing in terms of state of preservation of the buried tank(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) that's right no turret and i had heard the track was used for the bovy covenanater, there were also roof plates missing and cooling shrouds but there was a reason it got pushed back into the hole and i am under no illusion about the poor condition. if it was easy we'd all have covenanters let's get it out and see what it's like. i plan to recover it in the next couple of weeks More intact than a Panzer rebuild Maybe those silver boxes I drag around the world fit a Convenantor probably best to start a seperate thread on the covenanter from denbies vineyard before it gets lost in the buried and abandoned tanks thread.i'll put the pics up later Lost, buried and abandoned no more Edited January 30, 2017 by fesm_ndt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
