REME 245 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Going back probably 20 years ago a dealer told me that he knew where one was for sale minus its turret. Subsequent enqueries resulted in a story that it had dispeared from the yead where it was located so quite if it ever existed I do not know.
