#121: Re: USA (NOW V3.0!), Canada, France and Belgium AFV Register Author: the_shadock, Location: Normandy, FrancePosted: Mon Jun 15, 2009 11:44 am ---- France AFVs register was updated today, with a far more precise list of the vehicles stored in the museum reserves buildings. I visited them two weeks ago and have seen near to all of the vehicles listed on the document.
A shame that I was not able to identify all the vehicles, some are listed as "unknown model/variant" or "unknown vehicle"...

Looks like the Army Heritage & Education Center bought it from that private owner. BTW, it can be very useful to search the G104 forum for a particular SN/RN to get such details.

#126: Re: USA (NOW V3.0!), Canada, France and Belgium AFV Registers Author: bsmart, Location: Central MarylandPosted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 8:15 pm ---- I seem to remember hearing that Carlisle bought a Sherman from a private owner a couple years back. I heard it in the form of 'Why is the Army buying a monument tank when they have them sitting at Anniston in storage?'
In fact I found a thread where we discussed it back in Feb 2008

#128: Re: USA (NOW V3.0!), Canada, France and Belgium AFV Register Author: bialy-r, Location: POLANDPosted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 4:44 pm ---- OT-810 or Sd. Kfz. 251 Santa Rosa, CA www.flickr.com/photos/...s/2545038/
#129: Re: USA (NOW V3.0!), Canada, France and Belgium AFV Register Author: the_shadock, Location: Normandy, FrancePosted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 5:09 pm ----
I guess that it is a lightly vismod OT-810. The exhaust is on the right side, and it is on the left side on original SdKfz 251s.

This is "Thor," which I last saw at Camp Roberts:
I would wonder if they're the same vehicle, but: 1) they're 4+ hours drive (242 miles) apart, and 2) appears to have different paint jobs.
