XM-8
I'll need to check that one too, but I think there's a bunch of them actually (just not on display).
What was that SPG at the Hampton VA hospital? Was it an XM-108 or something else?
- Neil_Baumgardner- DontosBesides the Obvious, T28 Super Heavy, here are a few possible candidates:
Sd.Kfz. 234-4, only one in the world?l

Seven surviving M40s by my count... I think my totally arbitrary bar is 5...
M12 is definately a good one though... That cant be the only survivor right? Any overseas?

The Hampton VA vehcile is a T195.
- bsmartI thought I remember hearing that the 5 XM-8s built were going to be issued to an 'interim' armor unit with the 82nd ABN. A couple weeks later was when the XM-8 at Aberdeen was drug out from 'behind the fence' and set next to the warehouse. (That was all discussed on the old board)
Does anyone know if they went through with the plan?

That may be the only one. It was a limited production run and almost all were immediatly deployed to Europe. Wouldn't be surprised if all there were scrapped immediately postwar.
How many Tiger Is are there?
Elephant/Ferdinand Aren't there 3? (Aberdeen, Bovington, Kubinka)
JagdTiger? (Same 3?)
Brummbear?
You might ask Ed at Aberdeen for his list of rare beasts. I've seen a list he has of high priority vehicles to get run through refirb. Several were on the list because of 'only one built' or 'only known example'
The Whippet and Mark IV come to mind. Not sure about Vickers MkII. What about the Mk VI light?
What about the Japanese Type 89 or even the Chi-Ha
For other German vehicles The fluid drive Mk IV, the 'Grasshopper', Nashorn?
How many M13/40s are left?

The Hampton VA vehcile is a T195.
There was a bit of a disagreement between Jim & I on the identification of that vehicle. Based on Hunnicutt, my conclusion is that it is an M108 hull (the hull is like a normal M108, different from the T195) and a T195 turret.

What about Soumas and Renault R35s? Do y'all have a bunch stashed away in France?
Which reminds me How many Char Bs are there? I remember a discussion way back when I first came on the board and thought Aberdeen had one but found out I had misremembered the Souma.
And isn't the WWI Schneider that Aberdeen 'sent home' the only one left?

I arrived at the conclusion it was a T195E1 - there were four of them, all differed slightly and I suspect that was No 3 which had the turret from one of the T195 prototypes.
There are a number of small differences between that hull and an M108 one.
- Neil_BaumgardnerOkay, these pictures may help with what I am describing/seeing with regard to the "slope."
