Rick W Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Does anyone know the exact spot where this tank remains are, Ive just read about it in that Britain at war mag. An interesting article, the magazines pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thats impressive. Won't it be a sight to see on future years at W&P??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thats the one! Its got a good article in the mag, especially them trying to tow it out of its hole with 2 Fodens! Snapped a tow chain rated at 70 tons! Will make a point of going to see that, apparently the museum scavenged some bits off it so not a lot left.

Jack Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Great story - anywhere we can watch the progress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) I think that is the story, it was found, pulled out by some volunteers and REME, the museum came and took some bits off it and the rest of the tank still sits in that field doing nothing apart from rusting. So if you fancy a small project...... Edited January 14, 2011 by Marmite!! photo link repaired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chambers101 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 My cousin is Stuart Clegg who wrote one of those pieces. I remember him telling us how he saw it. I believe he had a newspaper article written about it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
