VFW Post 3720 - Swartz Creek, MI - M47 Gallery
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.

Hi All, We’ve added a gallery of photos M47 SN 5401 on display at VFW Post 3720, Swartz Creek, MI. The AFV registry lists a possible M60A3 at the same location, but there was only the M47. I have no idea how Alf Adams discerned the SN on this tank - he must’ve used an electron microscope as all I could make out was the numeral 5! www.vgbimages.com/AFV-...4/n-gBGxLV

I took some pictures of that tank as well a couple summers ago. It's a rather odd shade of lime green. You must have been in the Flint area, I see you also got pictures of the M7 in Davidson. Did you get out to the M551 in New Lothrop?

Hi Walter, We were transiting through MI and grabbed a few new to us locations. We didn't make it to the New Lathrop M551 as it was a bit too far off of the route. The locations we hit were all pretty close to I-69.
