Brooky Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 That's the Budge Mk VII Crocodile now with Alan Cors in Virginia. Shame it has gone abroad. It had been superbly restored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I came across this one... During the 1970s, the Irish Army's Churchills were retired from service, some being broken up, one used as a target on the firing range, and one simply being buried in a specially dug deep hole. When it became known that the North Irish Horse was looking for a Churchill, the Government of the Republic of Ireland offered to make gift of the buried Mark IV to the Regiment. The following photographs, taken by the Irish Army, show her disinterment. Shepherded by Bracken Anderson, she was transported to the North where, as can be seen in the two photographs from NIH archives, she was lovingly brought back to life.
