Isn't it the same that was used as tester for those new tracks that Staman made

Hi Michel,

in my opinion it's, the one and the same
There are some picture's, including one from the Staman site, in the "Liberty Camp Delden" thread

I also found some more picture on an Dutch online photo album site
The picture is from 2009

Warning:
There is an chalk painted pin-up like Lady on this picture, however with-out the usual clothing
The picture is of the left side of the tank

That Sherman looks familiar, I believe i've seen it before.
Isn't it the same that was used as tester for those new tracks that Staman made, if so its equiped with a twin diesel. I have to search the pictures I've made at Tanks in Town last year.

Edit : it doesn't seem to be an M4A1 Grizzly, because the differential cover is not the bolted one.
Seems to be an usual M4A1(75) Sherman.

Correct r/n:

M-78885 in Malden

Hope it will help. Please let me know if you catch these or any other ex-swiss Centurion.

Both have the same r/n?

No, it was a typo on my side, sorry

Right now I am on the road for the whole gig, and don't have the data to give you the exact r/n. Will be back home during the weekend.

If I forget to post, please remind me Wink

Hello Massimo,
Both have the same r/n?

Thanks Massimo

will try to find them, however because they most likely privately owned they will be hard to find

Two ex-swiss Centurion were sold to people in the Netherlands. They are all Pz 55/60:

Hope it will help

That's Tichenor's site

Sorry mixed them up

Correct this Sherman has been sold to the UK
However I cann't tell you when this was, or to who it has been sold

I tried to find it on Trevor's AFV register ( www.afvregister.org ) in the UK, however I could not find it.

That's Tichenor's site - for vehicles in the UK my link would be:

Preserved Tanks in Britain

but I'm not familiar with this tank so I can't add anything to this discussion.

Hi Walter,

thanks for the picture's
From the look's of it, there has been no progress in the last 18 month's or so
Except that the huls are starting to turn green Laughing
