the more conventional tanks in Saumurs car park
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.

We didn't wait in the car, personnaly I have to admit that I really like to climb over the walls and go where it is forbidden to go. It's just something like curiosity.. Some tanks that Neil and I took in photo still need to be identified..
Please have a look here if you think that you can help..

Hello: Photo #2 is, I believe, of a Chinese Type 69, judging from the headlights. The ventilator on the turret roof is a giveaway that it is a T-54-based vehicle as opposed to a T-55. Any more shots of the M47 in front of it? Hope this helps, Scott

Scott, I added few photos of the M47 Patton on page 2 of the album quoted on this same thread. Infortunately, I didn't manage to do a full walkaround. I'll do it the next time I go there.
Thanks for the identification of the T-54 or Type-69 tank. Maybe this could help : the SN of this tank is "B9831143" or "V9831143" if the B is in cyrillic. Maybe this could help to say if it is a Russian or a Chinese tank???
