I have a local contact going on those days - Unfortunately he's only been bribed to take a single image of everything on display so I can plan for future bribes er visits....

Cool

There is a free photography day at this museum from 16-17 May apparently!

"Airlines announce fare increases in anticipation of spike in Mid-May travel to Otopeni Airport"

This is very thoughtful for locals (like in-the-city locals), but of limited value apart from that. Let's consider how photography had harmed visitation...since my first visit, we've had two other members of this forum go, and I've returned. Somehow, my piddling efforts are not keeping visitors away in droves. This is a sadly misguided policy that is shared by more and more museums. Pictures increase visitation, not discourage it. They give people a reason to want to go themselves. They see what's there, and wish "if only that guy had gotten better views of this."

I received an update on this lend-lease Sherman to the effect that this was fetched up some years ago out of the Prut riverbed. If I learn anything more about it, I'll let you know.

Some interesting photos and discussion on Romanian armor and WWII involvement generally to be found here:

Or was it just for 'deep wading' like the sheet metal extensions on Shermans?

Did they fit a "tower" like we had? (probably not, on ones that old, I'm guessing...)

I'll have a check around and see.

I wondered about a fording kit, but didn't see any provision for the intakes.

Through the turret Doug - like most tanks...

Hi Ossie! Hi Folks!

Great set of photos, love the T4(Mk IV) shots, thank you!
I found this photo interesting. Notice the pipes coming out of the fenders and running acrossed the top of the rear fender ends. I have never notice a T34 with that. Wonder if it is a smoke generator system?

No they are the exhaust extensions for wading... they bolt on the ends of the exhausts.
