welcome on the board and many thanks for the update. Any idea where this tank could be located?

I was there on a sunday trip and asked, they weren't able to tell me the exact destination, they just told me it was going to be restored and displayed in a better way in a french museum (it was stored outdoor in Morges).

You may try to write them directly:

Hope it will help

Hello Massimo,

welcome on the board and many thanks for the update. Any idea where this tank could be located?

Since late 2007 the G-13 is no longer in Morges's artillery museum.
As far as I know it was donated to a french museum, since in Morges there was no way to store it indoor.

The Morges's museum is still worth a visit since it keeps some esotic swiss artillery.

From swamp, i think.
Rebuilt from two stugs, as i can see. Looks like late series vehicle with remote controlled MG mount, but with old gun mask without coaxial MG and early MG mount - with shield.

Thanks Taranov for this update. Any idea where this StuG could come from? (a lake or a swamp, a former private collection or museum etc..)?

StuG 40 Ausf.G from private collection. Riga, Latvia. Engine and another internal equipment in bad condition, need restoration.
Also on the photos remains PzKpfw IV Ausf.H or Ausf.J, same location.

Thanks Neil, I hope that I will be able to help you for the UK register. A big challenge as there are several private owners there !!

P-O,
An addition for your British Light & Medium Tanks file - discovered while researching the Bovington website for my new UK AFV Register:

www.tankmuseum.co.uk/c..._0103.html

Thanks for the corrections.

Well, it seems that I''m using to much the CTRL+V command Rolling Eyes

One more new file published yesterday :

Sherman-based "Funnies" : Sherman M4A4 Crab, Sherman Duplex Drive, Sherman BARV

P-O

New file :

Tankettes, light and medium tanks : Carden-Lloyd Mk IV to Mk VI b tankettes, Vickers-Carden-Lloyd Model 1933, 1934, 1936 and 1937, Light Tank Mk IIA and Mk VI, Light Tank Mk VII Tetrarch, Vickers 6-Ton Tank, Vickers Medium Tank Mk I and Mk II

P-O, the Vickers-Carden-Lloyd Model 1937 at the top of page 6 is at Kubinka, not Bovington.

The APG Mk VI is supposedly a Mk VIB.

The APG Medium Mk II is supposedly a Mk IIA.

You can check the USA AFV register for background on the APG examples...
