Great show! Met a few AFV News members there. Took 600 plus photos and some from National USMC Museum on Friday. Saw the M10 TD and the M1917 light tank, very nice restorations. The M10 SN on rear left tow hook: 1712., M2A1 Half Track "Nanny Goat" was MFGR's Serial No 275408, ORD Serial No 9746. M16 GMC MFGR's Serial No 276275, ORD Serial No 986. M3A1 Scout Car MFGRs Serial No 262680, ORD Serial No 11375. M3A1 Scout Car MFGR's Serial No. 266224, ORD Serial No. 11375. M24 Chaffee Light tank Serial No 965. Photos will be posted on my flickr account sometime this week, I'll list the account when photos are there. USMC Museum has M60A1 with reactive armor, but it wont be shown until 2018. I asked if it could be photo'd and was told it was in construction area, covered up. Rick

that's great. Any idea which vehicle they will display there, beside the M60A1?
I think that they have a Sherman flamethrower.
