PanzerJohn Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Stompie the Tank was too historically important to be 'painted by random graffiti artists' but could still return 'in some form' - Southwark News Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teletech Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Pretty sure no lasting harm was done by many layers of paint, but it's true they are getting rarer.... there are a lot fewer Soviet-era tanks around these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) The Bermondsey T34 Tank, "Stompie" has been restored and now advertised for sale on Milweb at RR Services for £110,000. ..RR's originally sold the T34 tank to the previous owner in the 1990's Edited April 22, 2023 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerJohn Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 Certainly looks a lot better. I've clambered over a few times and it always looked to be in pretty good condition considering. Toyed with the idea of buying it at one time but got nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I'm wondering how it managed to stay there so long with a live gun? Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Interesting that the front MG Racks still held the magazines. & never got 'Lifted'?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
