Rick - glad to hear you're doing better! I haven't used many of your photos on PreservedTanks.com yet, though I look forward to adding more. You can always checked what's used where via the link on your Contributor page.

Rick_Eshleman

Hi AFV DG! Doing better here. I'm hoping to add to the Preserved Tanks lists and it does overwhelm at times. My hobby/legacy is to leave behind my photos over the years. I do ask one thing, that they are credited to: Richard S. Eshleman. If I submit and an author needs details, email (it's in My Account here) and I hope to reply.
Always watch flickr Account Brick6757 for my submissions too. I send along a few old photos. Take care, Rick

TrevorLarkum

Wow - well done! I'd love to offer to add them to PreservedTanks.com but I'm already feeling overwhelmed in a similar way to you.

vagabond

Trevor -

LOL!! You can say that again!

Even with easing up for this tour on tank hunting in order to have more time to process/post galleries, we're up to 570 total stops for military museums.
That's 307 VFWs, AL Posts, Memorial Parks etc with 96 large AFV museums, 105 Air Museums (when I'll have time to post those is a mystery!) and visits to most every Naval museum or ship in the US (have a few subs left, but most capital ships have been visited - again WHEN those will be posted is also a mystery) - I've come to realize I need a full-time staff!!

We have been amazingly fortunate to have a job that allows us to indulge in our hobbies.

Cheers,
VB

Vagabond, you have been busy!

Update on the Minerva, OH M3A3 Stuart-I checked the coordinates in the 2011 Register but came up blank, however a quick search shows it's now displayed at the "Minerva Veterans Memorial Park" at:

40.727316, -81.102327

Or 106 East Plain Street, Minerva, OH.

The M41 in Danville, KY is near Millennium Park but the GPS coordinates and street reference (Rowe) in the register are incorrect. GPS coordinates are:
N 37 39.327 W 84 47.877

vagabond

The M7 listed in Marysville, KS is located at a different park than the one listed in the Registry. Its actually in Lions Park off N 16th & North St. The GPS coordinates are incorrect as well.

Regarding the M26A1 in New Bedford, MA at Franco-American Square - as I noted in my gallery post, the SN is listed in the Registry as 1693 but the SN stamped on the tank is 922.
