Additions to Armor collection at FHCAM Gallery
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.

Post subject: Additions to Armor collection at FHCAM Gallery

Hi All,

We had the opportunity recently to return to the newly rechristened Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum in Everett, WA and photograph many of the additions to the armor collection.

Unfortunately, as I posted elsewhere, the Churchill was not available for viewing.

We did get the SN of the M60A1 - SN 6435 from the tow lug. The top of the engine deck cover has 6009 stamped in it. The placard informs that the M60A1 and M48 are both from the Royal Tank Museum in Jordan.

P-O, we got the Pressed Steel Car build number on the left side rear of the M4A1 Sherman - It is 2492.

The former Littlefield M55, Sdkfz 7, Scud A Launcher and M1A1 Abrams turret trainer were all on display.

I posted the images to 2 different galleries on our site - both listed below.
The first link takes you to the new gallery in the Air & Space Museum section of our site.
The second link takes you to the previously existing AFV gallery where the newer images have been added to the end of the gallery. Your choice.....

All the photos below link to the Air Museum section.

Okay, I know it's a flying thingee, but do you have more pics of that I-16 Russian fighter. I love those "barrels with wings"!
