centi521 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 much of these shermans are propery from the towns why they not sale them? i wan't have one^^ Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 These are my Sherman family range pictures. Starting at the beginning, the M3 that I'm sure many of you know, this is when it was still on Pirbrite. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) These are the two Grizzlies from Otterburn that Dave Arnold used to make one in Tank Overhaul. They were in much better condition when I took these! (1988) Edited February 3, 2009 by Adrian Barrell Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Here is the Grizzly that used to sit outside the Tank Museum, now outside Stanley Barracks I think. It was recovered from Sennybridge by the TA. The Foden makes it look small! Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Rams always featured quite heavily on ranges. The first is one of several that were on Pirbrite. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 These are a couple on Salisbury Plain. The second of these ended up as a gate guard outside ATDU at Bovington. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Shermans proper now! These are all M4A4s on Salisbury Plain. This one is now on static display in a US museum. The two tone colour is a photo printing error! Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 This one was recovered for a memorial but ended up in the Netherlands. What you can't see clearly is in the mound of earth, there is three links of Tiger 1 battle track! Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 This is a typical wreck but I did get a seat for mine out of it. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 This one was recovered and is now owned by Jim Clark. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Another miscellaneous pair but they all have something to give! I got an escape hatch out of the second one. You can see it lying in front next to the camera bag. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 This one was also recovered and is under restoration with Ken Lyons in NI. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 The top one donated it's turret to the bottom one which Carl Brown part restored. It's now at RR Services. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 This is one we rolled over to recover belly plates (for me) and road wheels for the ATDU Ram. If you've got the kit...... Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 These are yet more on SPTA. The ones in the impact area really get a hammering. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 This is the old demo target that used to be on display at Duxford. Quite why it was put back out as a target, I can't imagine. It had 2 pr and 6 pr solid shot stuck in it. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Another selection of battered M4A4s. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 This is one of David Herberts pics from 1987. I assume the turret was placed there rather than landed like that! Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 The last of the SPTA M4A4s is another of Davids pics from 1987 showing what I believe is Preston Isaacs being recovered. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 A few Sherman family vehicles now. An M10 on Catterick filled with concrete. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 One of a few Sextons on SPTA. The thin hull doesn't stand up too well to HE! Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 A couple of M40 GMCs. Kilo is from Sennybridge and is now with Rex Cadman and the other is ex-Bassingbourn, ex STANTA and now privately owned. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 An ex-Pounds BARV on SPTA. The tracks from this went to an M7B2 now with the Jaques Littlefield collection. Quote
