Interesting, two Leopard 1Vs. I did know of one at Maaldrift, and another at Heesch of which this last I didn't know if it was property of the Delft museum. It seems I have to convince my boss that I have some business to do in the Amersfoort/Soesterberg area. At Soesterberg the vehicles are located in the old helicopter hangars on the Dutch side of the base. At the former US side only some aircraft from the air force museum are stored

Lesley

P.S. Next week I'am at the Bergen (DEU) training area, if it is possible I will take some photos.

When working through the various lists I found something curious

Apparently there are 2 types of M4 Sherman tanks that have identical painted on vehicle numbers

Now people may say, that could happen because they are painted on

Agreed, however both tanks are in the same museum

At the Cavalry Museum at Amersfoort they have an M4A3(105) Sherman
Vehicle number: 30126810

However they also have an M4A1(76)W E8 Sherman
Also vehicle number: 30126810

They are not directly in line of sigth of each other because there is an building in between, but the distance will only be about 400meters

Michel_Krauss · Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2009 1:00 am Post subject: Re: The Netherlands AFV Registers

P-O,

thanks for the additional vehicle's.

However this list leaves me with an question.
The M25 has armour and is armed, so technically can be on the list.

However the high speed tractor's M4-M5-M6, should they be on the list?
Maybe I am wrong, because in my opinion they are not real AFV's.
I placed them in the category of truck's.
Something like an deuce and a half with an MG on the cabin, only tracked

If the general opinion is that they should be on the list, no problem
Let me know

Michel

the_shadock · Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2009 7:47 am Post subject: Re: The Netherlands AFV Registers

Michel,

if you look to other AFVs registers, both M25 Dragon Wagon, M4/M5/M6 HSTs and even M29 Weasels are listed.

P-O

Michel_Krauss · Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2009 4:50 pm Post subject: Re: The Netherlands AFV Registers

Hi P-O

then I will put them in the list.

I also would like to ad then an M29 Weasel of the museum Wings of Liberation at Best.

Regards,

Michel
