Looks like maybe the hull is real, but the tracks are fake?

Hi all,

I stopped by to see the M53 listed as being at Anthony Aviation at the Pompano Beach, FL airport. They have gone out of business and the AFV is gone.

I’ll try and track it down by going to the Anthony Crane rental (same parent company) and see if anyone can tell me where it is.
I'll post if I learn more.

Cheers!

vagabond,
Any info on the Pompano M53?

Neil

Is this M41 known to the registry?

We stopped by Desoto in the spring and saw the M728 but didn't know about this!
Cheers!

Neil and the gang -

We stopped by the Georgia ARNG Armory at the intersection of River St and W Line St in Calhoun, GA to see the M4A1(75), M60A3 and M114.
The M60A3 is SN 1835 and RN JJO680. Will post photos to our Smugmug site in a bit.
I'll post the photo links on the main forum.

Cheers!

Is that the Marmon-Herrington CTL-3M from A.S.M.H. "Tankland", South El Monte, CA (USA)

North Carolina updates

Hey Neil,

We’ve been poking about in NC and have this info regarding the AFV registry:

The M110A2 listed as being in Hamptonville is actually on display in Yadkinville in the Yadkin County Park, 6600 Service Rd, Yadkinville, NC. There is a Veteran’s Memorial section of the park where an M110A2 is displayed. I checked the SN and could make out 65 and possibly a 2. That matches the SN listed for the Hamptonville vehicle so I think they are one and the same. When I click on the link in the registry for VFW Post #10346 listed in Hamptonville, it shows a photo for a few seconds of the display in Yadkin County Park.

The M114 listed in Wilmington at Strickland’s Surplus is a home-built.

The M41 listed for Charlotte is LONG gone. We looked for back in June 2010.

Pine Level, NC M110A2 SN BMY1217 confirmed.

Fort Fisher, NC – The North Carolina Military History Museum on Ft Fisher has:

T55 SN B05GT8314
M60 partial SN - could make out 266
M901 SN C2865
M110 SN 342 maybe 7

Go to this Smugmug gallery link for Ft Fisher photos:

We’re working on posting ALL the North Carolina VFW, American Legion, Memorial AFV’s in one Gallery heading on Smugmug – like we’ve done with IL. Will post to forum when completed.

Cheers!

Neil said "converted some Marylanders to mustard base... "

Well considering that my father used to tell the story that when he came to maryland from Arkansas he was shocked when 'BBQ' around here meant sloppy joe's (ground beef in Heinz Chili Sauce) So we've come along way. The Carolinas have the biggest variety in BBQ styles Tomato based in Western NC, Vinegar based in Eastern NC and Mustard in SC. Each have their advantages and when done right all are good. When done poorly they may be better than none at all

Congrats!

Yeah, she's not interested and doesnt quite get it, but encourages me to pursue my interests & hobbies - if only I had the time LOL...

Neil

Where does she stand on pork BBQ?

This is the kind of detail that you need to explore prior to taking the plunge.

Being good South Carolinians (myself by birth, her by choice), we both love mustard base BBQ In fact we prepared a couple of racks for a cookout a month or so ago and converted some Marylanders to mustard base...

Although she's also getting me to eat healthier... So, BBQ is more of an infrequent treat...
