Trevor, if you want some or all of the pics, I will send you a DVD. I also have visited several other places like Cobbaton and Muckleburgh..

and yes the M4A1(76) comes from the Isle of Wight, along with a Churchill which I have photographed too.

Copies of the photos would be great, thanks. It's funny going through those links - many of those tanks I haven't seen on public display since my 1982 visit.

I agree, very nice pics. I have visited the Tank Museum 5 times now since 1978 and hugely enjoyed each one. Here is my take on the picture IDs that Trevor didn't cover.

7159; T18 Boarhound
7160; EE9 Cascavel
7161; AT105 Saxon
7162; Stalwart
7163; Alvis Saladin, FV601
7164; HS30 APC
7165; HS30 mortar carrier
7167; Panhard AML H60
7168; Panhard AML H90
7170; Saracen FV603
7171; Panhard EBR FL10
7176; Saracen Armored Command Post FV604
7184; Warrior FV515
7186; Humber Pig FV1611
7189; Centaur half-track Land Rover

7191; Ferret (probably Mk 2)
7211; Morris Mk 1 Scout Car

7180; Cambridge Carrier
7181; Oxford Carrier

After a long time of waiting, thanks to Pierre, I can see for the first time good photos of them.

Thank you

the_shadock

I'm still missing an ID for 7134 and 7195.

7134 looks like a vanilla T54 to me.

This one at Fort Hood looks identical.

The Cambridge carrier is the only surviving one. This is an Armoured OP version (FV 402 or Armoured OP No. 4) and was recovered from the ranges at Porton Down and restored at the Museum in 1984.

7195 looks like a turretless and stripped Fox?

thanks for all the help, guys !!

Here are the wrecks stored near the new parking :
Bovington wrecks stored outside

I'm uncertain on 2 hulls which look like Centaur or Cromwell, any help please?

I can identify UID2039 and UID2030. I suspect IMGP6955 is UID1988.
