More M47s, also for Trevor!
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.

Post subject: More M47s, also for Trevor!

Hi,

I have pics of two M47s at Ft. Irwin. I thought there were more, but I don't seem to have any pics of others.

This is located on Fort Irwin Road, between South Loop Road and 8th Street:

It is located outside (at that time) an 11ACR motorpool.

There is no rebuild plate on it, although you can see where it was mounted. I discovered no serials anywhere else.

This tank is located at the intersection of B Avenue and 5th Street:

I didn't look really hard for serials, although there is a "102" welded onto the front hull about midway between the driver's hatch and the front edge.

Discuss...

Chuck

Thanks a lot, Chuck! I've added these photo's to the existing entry for Irwin, plus updated it with the extra information you gave (including the locations on the map):

Location ID 54300: Fort Irwin

Any other Irwin photo's also gratefully appreciated.
