Kevin Wheatcroft gearing up for Tiger II rebuild?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: Re: Kevin Wheatcroft gearing up for Tiger II rebuild?

I would very much like to hear Mr. Wheatcroft's side of the story concerning the Axvall Tiger II engine and gearbox. Sweeping it under the rug isn't going to do him much good so better to lay the cards on the table.

The thing is that I'm fairly certain that Axval/SFHM would have been favorable to exchanging the Tiger II components for something more needed for the inventory. One example is the m/40L, a tank missing in the collection in complete state. The Museum (Arsenalen) are trying to buy one from the Dominican Republic and I'm sure Kevin would have pulled more strings and at a faster pace than what is the case now. It would have been cheaper for all and all would have been happy.

The current mess is just sad. To put a lid on it from KW's side is not going to fly right now, at least not well. There is a possibility that he really thought it was an official deal and that the bogus engine and empty gearbox sent back was a part of it. It's the kind of deal he has sort of done before for example with the Breda Panther D automotive parts which he got in exchange for cosmetic restoration and weather proofing of the static monument. Even if not working and stripped of interior components the replacement engine and gearbox would have looked the part. As the curator of Axvall was bribed he would have given the go ahead if contacted by KW, which is likely that he was. In any case damage is already done and I urge KW to come forward, the ill-will account is growing by the day; not only related to the Tiger II affair but also the issue with the Aberdeen Tiger I ...

What is the status now for the Aberdeen Tiger I? Last that I read was that there were some type of contacts between the Americans and KW about the status and where the Tiger was supposed to be located.

Is he, like, the "cat lady" of tanks or what? Are vehicles being held hostage for some form of "consideration"? Do we have a new idea for a future episode of....

Maybe we could get Shades to do something useful for once and steal his nuts
