Kurt,
I have photos for the Blanchester Sherman, but could use good pics of the rest - any signs of M60s at Atterbury?

BTW, at Muncie IN there is also an M60, and at Bluffton IN's armory (500 E. Spring St, 40.7284, 851668) there is another M60. In Scottsburg IN the tank is an M4A1(76) HVSS.

Blanchester OH has an M4A3 at the I.O.O.F. Cemetary on W. Park Dr (39.2915, 83.9951). This was found by Mike Haines' son - I just documented it.

I am still digging out info and will forward pictures.

Kurt,
I have Atterbury pretty well covered, except I could use pics of any M60s that may be there.

Thanks for the Kokomo info - an M41 is an odd junkyard item...

Neil, do you have photos of the tanks at Camp Atterbury Indiana? I have those along with Blanchester, Eaton, and Middletown OH, and Bluffton, Brownstown, Jeffersonville, Kokomo, Muncie, Oaklandon, and Winchester IN.

I also saw a new one: An M41 (essentially a wreck) stuck behind a van trailer on the side of the road in Kokomo:

It's immediately north of the yellow forklift thing.

You can see the angle of the front track.

I was having camera problems at the time I was driving by and it did not look like a place I wanted to stop and risk the wrath of the lot owner by poking around.

A few additions to the Canadian Register, new photos from yesterday at CFB Edmonton. The M109A3 is a fairly recent addition.

M109A3, in park adjacent to Churchill Ave and Hindenberg Line Rd.
Not sure where to find s/n, but there were some #'s stamped under the rear left lift lug:

M113A2 in front of First Field Amb, Quatre Vents Place:

M113A2 in park West of 1 PPCLI (may have been a TOW vehicle, note cupola has folding mount):

By the way-where does one look for the s/n on an M113?

Also a Universal Carrier Mk.2 in same park:

And for interest's sake, by the M109, a German LeFh18/40?

Cheers,
Jim

This, or e-mail. Life's been a bit hectic lately, but I am still working on it - basically just double-checking all the links now...

As for Toledo, do you mean the one in Walbridge? 28846 Tracy Rd (N41 34.116 W83 31.654)

Neil,

We stopped by:

CLINTON, SC
In-between Willard Rd & N Adair St
Willard Rd & N Adair St, Clinton, Laurens, South Carolina 29325
M42 Duster USA out

No M42. The concrete pad out front of the American Legion Post #56 was empty and had a fence around it. Tread marks on the pad.

I checked the NG Armory down the road and the M42 was not there either.
