Hello all! At long last, I have just uploaded V2.9 of the USA AFV Register! Please take a look! I consider it somewhat of a draft, with the aim of incorporating any mistakes for V3.0.

As always, go to the first message in the thread to download!

Hi Neil

This may be a new listing of an FT-17 in Kansas City, MO

Jeff "Piney" Lewis

FT-17 – National WW1 museum, Kansas City, MO (USA)
The tank was previously owned by Hayes Otoupalik, who decided to sell it to the museum in 2007.

"Officials hope to have it on display in April." (I hope, that someone on the board will be able to go there to take few photo !!)

As P-O said on the board, we have revised the France AFV Register - eliminating any information that we could not confirm or find in public sources.

the.shadock.free.fr/France_AFVs.pdf

We hope that this will be a great resource for AFV hunters and has resolved any past issues related to its content.

My mistake (to fast on the submit button)

Actually that set is already identified - its at Coonskin Park / WV ARNG HQ in Charleston WV.

Thanks anyway though Tichenor!

Neil

Don thanks - but perhaps this should go on P-O's surviving panzers thread?

I havent started an Afghanistan AFV Registry yet

Hey Neil

Did you catch this?

There is a privately owned M59 APC in Upton, Massachusetts that seems to be in good shape. You might want to add it to your list. I am pretty sure it is a runner. If I have time I will take a picture of it.

(Partial) Story of the Jumbo at Camp Ripley :

Another interesting piece of info from this page : "At least one other Jumbo is out on the impact range, but from my observation from OP 1 at a range of about 1200M-1500M there is VERY little left other than the hull."

Trevor, sure - YOU can send me a copy of course, LOL... In case you dont have it, my e-mail address is baumgar @ hotmail .

My problem is timing... I only have 2 full days (June 22 & 23) for sightseeing, and I'm sorry but the Vatican and ancient Rome (Colosseum, Forum, etc) are higher priorities for my first trip to Rome.

Now I may have some free time once I land on Saturday, June 21 and drop off my luggage, etc.

But as best I can tell, Il Museo storico della Motorizzazione Militare, is currently closed & undergoing renovation? And otherwise normally only open on Sundays 9-12....

If there was someway to get in on Saturday, June 21, afternoon - I might heavily consider it. Anyone have contacts?

The link on the bottom of that page seems to say Saturday and Sunday:



Of course, 1200 may be too early for you. However, it says they will take visits on other days by appointment so they might be flexible about a visit Saturday afternoon.

Nonetheless, of course it makes perfect sense to have a look around the rest of Rome for your visit, so that really should be your priority. I didn't mean to distract you. I'll send the document anyway just in case it's of interest. Have fun visiting the famous places, and I'm sure there won't be too many 'off topic' complaints if you showed us a picture or two of the sights from your trip.
