I was there last month with a fellow forum member. Took less pictures than usual, mostly with wide-angle.
There are some news, the 40 mm Bofors is now restored and on display:

For few years, I was a member of the Musée de l'Abri association in Hatten, Alsace, France. I know that they received two Panzer 68 in exchange for a complete M7B2, and I guess it is this one. I should be able to confirm this as soon as I'm back home.

The restored M7B2 has been on display since quite a long time, I have pics dating back to 2008. I always assumed it came from somewhere else, but it's just speculation.

and yes, the M7B2 wreck comes from a fire range in Germany, and I'm not sure that the restored M7B2 comes from the Bundeswehr. If it was the case, I should have found the serial above the diff. housing. The restored M7B2 may come directly from the US army.

Interesting, I don't think it was there last time I visited. I'll check it out next time and ask around about what's planned for it

I've seen the ex-Pré Giroud G-13 stored outside, unter a tarpaulin. It was located along the wall of the AFVs display building. It is on the left side when you come to access the AFVs building.

Is the ex Pré Giroud G-13 still there? I haven't seen it since a while, I assumed it was shipped somewhere. I guess you saw it around the workshop.

My understanding is that the M7B2 wreck and the almost-wreck M47 come from a fire range in Germany, just like the M44 (who is pretty well restored and on display)

Hello,

I visited the Full Militärmuseum yesterday. Sorry Massimo, I would have liked to do a visit with you, but I didn't know when I would arrive in Full yesterday, I was in a hurry, as usual. I started the visit at 3:30 PM, knowing that the museum would close at 5:00 PM. I was really in a hurry, so I focused mainly on US vehicles. Here is what I have found :

-The G-13 Hetzer that comes from Pré Giroud and that is stored under a tarpaulin is number M-78036
-The M7B2 wreck stored outside the museum is SN 4488
-I've not seen any serial on the M7B2 displayed in the museum
-The M3 Half-Track in the museum is an M3A1, chassis number ITM 29581, RN 4014598
-The M16 Half-Track MGMC is chassis number 276565 as best as I can tell
-There is an M47 Patton there, which is Serial 11818
-The M3A1 Stuart is SN 9939
-I've seen a Swiss Schneefräser built in 1943

pics to follow.

A nice example of "hybrid" vehicle:

That combination would make Sparky wet himself.....

The major change happened in 2010, when the new hall was added.

There are two Priests, one is fully restored, the other one is a wreck and sits outdoor, near the workshop:

Let me know if you visit the Museum. I may be able to join you

It has changed a lot since I was there (can't even remember when exactly). Do they still have the two M7B2 wrecks? I should really go back there soon.

One interesting thing to report. The Museum acquired a Merkava I, it's in Haifa right now, waiting for delivery.
