Didn't the Patton Museum have two M18 Hellcats.

No only one M18

Thanks Dontos.

I asked for the second Hellcat because in USA AFV Register there two Hellcats first in LST Building (to which I had photo) and second in Richardson Motor Pool Storage Facility.

Now only left the photo of: M20 Armored Utility Car. Have someone photo of it.

Yeah, that's an error in 3.0. I think we discussed it some months ago - but it may have been lost in the Great Backup Catasrophe. Wink

This is one of the better images I have of the M20 Armored Car during parade a couple of years ago.

I just reeived this You Tube link of the Museums 251/9 engines 1st operational start up.

The 251/9 has been in restoration for sometime and soon will be final assembled as an operational vehicle. It hasn't run since arrival in 1949. A very big step!!

I'm looking for a photo of M32 TRV from Richardson Motor Pool Storage Facility.

Dontos · Posted: Thu Jan 21, 2010 12:57 pm Post subject: Re: Richardson Motor Pool

The only M32 ARV that I am aware of is statically displayed in front of the Patton Museum.

This seems to be the only shot I have. I'm due to reshoot all the vehicles at Keyes Park and around the museum.

Don

I have already the photo svsm.org/gallery/m32a1b1 I wrote because in USA AFV Register V3.0 12 June 2008 is a M32 in Richardson Motor Pool.

Thanks and sorry for trouble.

Neil_Baumgardner · Posted: Thu Jan 21, 2010 2:47 pm Post subject: Re: Richardson Motor Pool

Yeah, that must have come out of the draft V3.1.

The good news is based on the current rate of edits & reviews, I think it may be put out for release in a month or so...

Here are a few vehicle walk around photos from todays visit to RMP......

just wanted to confirm 1 thing :
the so-called T6 Sherman with Spigot Mortars is called a T11 in Wikipedia's Sherman variants article :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Sherman_variants

Mine Exploders / Mine Excavators - fitted with various mine exploding devices including plungers, rollers, mortars. Most of those remained experimental vehicles.
Mine Exploder T11 - 6 forward firing mortars to set off mines. Experimental.

The Mine Excavator T6 has a V-shaped plough device, it doesn't carry spigot mortars..
Could the M4A4 at Fort Knox be a T11 ??

P-O

Don, can you post individual photos (instead of a collage) of these in your album?

Thanks,
