Yes you could updating it.

I'm trying to upload V3.1 now...

I didn't see a mention of this anywhere, but the Flying Heritage Collection in Everett, WA acquired a T-34/85 and Jagdpz 38/G-13 last year. The following link is about them appearing in an open house:

No word on where they were acquired from.

We touched on it here:

Okay everyone, V3.1 of the USA AFV Register is now available at 216.176.92.62/afv/USA_AFVs.pdf.

First off, many thanks to Michel van Loon for helping me rebuild the last draft I had before my hard-drive crashed last year. Of course many countless others have helped with info.

The big changes in this new version are the following:

1) The Museum moves

Armor, Ordnance, ADA, 1st AD, etc. Compared to 3 years ago, the majority of these collections are no longer on display. Unfortunately, the Patton Museum / Fort Knox no longer rank as a major AFV collection - most of its vehicles are now in storage at Fort Benning. Many Ordnance Museum vehicles have similarly moved to storage at Fort Lee, but a rump remainder (soon to become the "Aberdeen Proving Ground Museum") are still at APG and it still ranks as a major collection. Some changes at Fort Hood as well, but mostly just changing the names of the 4th ID Museum to 3rd ACR Museum. Unfortunately the ADA collection is now in storage at Fort Sill, but "new" AFVs have arrived at Fort Bliss for the future 1st AD Museum from Germany.

2) I have added coordinates, specifically in cities and even National Guard armories. However, I have avoided providing coordinates for AFV locations on active duty military bases (though I have provided cross-streets).

3) I have included links for photo galleries of each vehicle whenever possible. Frankly, some of these may already be broken - a given with a "living document" like this. In general I have tried to provide galleries instead of single pics.

4) The Serial Number disclaimer on page 4. 'Nuff said.

Thanks all! I'll try to push out new versions more quickly in the future - frankly lots of "life events" (changing jobs, including some higher work demands, and getting married) intervened over the past few years.

Neil,

Hello David,

yes I got your PM, thanks for it. I'm currently very busy so I just didn't have the time to update the website with that info, and I forgot to reply (sorry..).

Neil, Trevor and the gang -

On our way to the airshow in Michigan, we've been stopping off at AFV locations. Today we were at:

Joint Forces Reserve Center, 106 Army-Navy Rd (near Ash St) (N38 31.983 W81 55.947) M41 Walker Bulldog

There was NO sign of an M41. Went inside the bldg to look for someone to ask about it and could get no info.
I looked for the flagpole/building combination in the photo from Trevor's site and nothing matched.

Will post photos soon from the other locations we visited.

Cheers,
VB

AFV register candidate?

I think you have this one already, but just in case.

Across the street from the Holiday Inn Express in San Luis Obispo. A friend thought I might be interested. See, it does make you smarter!

I don't know why it's displaying sideways. It was taken that way and I rotated it before uploading to Photobucket. Stubborn!
