- DontosYes, that is the plan.
One of the issues has been trying to figure out the stencilling under the 'First In Bastogne'. Since only the one photo seems to exist, its been a bit difficult trying to 'read' the side of CK. With the assistance of a number of sources, we think we have an idea of what is stencilled on the tank based on photographic examples of other tanks.
Its amazing how much background information has been learned from 'photo-forensics'. This way, once CK is finally completed and exhibited (where ever that might be...?!) she should be near identical to the Dec 44 photograph.
I hope to be able to be onhand to see that. It would be a personal sense of gratification to see it completed.
At least that is the goal of the current project.

Hi,
So, reading between the lines of your post...is it too much to hope for that CK will be staying at Knox? Or do they (Benning) plan to snap it up once all of the restoration is complete?

- P_J_SMITHI am curious about the manner in which Cobra King is supported.
Generally, supports that are not significantly wider than they are tall will be prone to rolling.
In this case, the supports are three timbers wide and three timbers high.
The supports are also composed of multiple individual timbers, which would seem to make the situation less stable.
I know that safety is a major part of training as a volunteer at the museum and would like to know what is done that is making this safer than I think.
