- Massimo_FotiI am considering going there for their event in July:
http://www.militaer-museum.ch/fahrzeugtreff_09/
Or wait until 2010, when they will open a new hangar.
I took plenty of pictures when I was there (feel free to ask if you want any), but I still have to dig into more artillery, the Mowag stuff and the Oerlikon's collection.
Drop me a line whenever you plan your trip. I may be able to meet you there.

- Massimo_FotiThe restoration, at this stage, is taking place inside the main hall. It's cool because visitors can follow the activity.
You can also see they have the spare gun that once used to be in Thun. I guess theyplan to use that since the original one was damaged and missing the muzzle brake for 60 years.

would be a shame to replace the barrel, since it has originally been destroyed during the war, IIRC.

- Maple_Leaf_EhYes, indeed that is a very clean vehicle! Either it had relatively little dirt accumulate during its service career, or was cleaned extensively and stored safely after the museum acquired it.
Perhaps WWII Panzer engineering is a good mechanical challenge for these Swiss mechanics. Heuer watches, SIG assault rifles, yodelling songbooks, alpenhorns, etc.
