Weald Foundation breaks cover!
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.

This appeared on the Landships forum!
"Hi,
just seen your posting. My name is David and I work at the Weald Foundation (Sdkfz Foundation). Yes we are restoring an FT and also a TSF. We are planning to relaunch our website later in the year and membership. We are also planning an open day around a current vehicle restoration later in the year. Our plans are still at an early stage but if you are interested email me at wealdfoundation @ aol.com and i'll keep you informed."

Also pictures of their FT & what can only be termed "A kit" for the TSF's superstructure.

They are also restoring a Stug III that once belonged to Fred Ropkey in the USA, see wehrmacht-awards.com, Achtung Panzer! Forum. The thread is titled Stug III at the Port of Galveston. Sorry can not provide a direct link. Regards Richard

Hello, I knew about the Renault FT tank, but was forbidden to say anything about it. The Weald Foundation borrowed the Bovington's FT running gear to make a copy of it. The hull and turret most probably come from the Maginot line, where a lot of FT hulls were buried in the 1930s.

I knew it too, I never even realised the information was classified?
