Do you have a date or dates for the photos?

I also found this picture which you and Joe might appreciate, taken on the road behind the base:

Trevor,
You should contact our former Brazilian poster, Reginaldo Bacchi. He used to work for Engesa, and would come up to me at trade shows like Eurosatory LOL... Unfortunately he didnt quite make the transition to the new forum from the old one some years ago. I'll e-mail you the last e-mail address I have for him.

He's on Twitter & Tanknet, quite a "Googlable" name!
This lot's worth a look through for items Brazilian.

Trevor,
I would be glad to get some photos from you if you are lucky enough to get access to the tanks during your visit (most of them are located on military bases).
I would be curious to get photos from the Sherman tanks too, especially from small hatches versions.

Thanks for the leads guys. However, I found out this morning that the trip has now been put back until at least September, and that might mean that someone else has to go. Therefore I'm going to finish putting online the stuff I've already researched, and then I'm going to put Brazil 'on ice' and get back to Overloon and PTIN.

I am still not 100% about the info I have on brazilian L3 tanks. I have the strong feeling there could be more, not listed in the PDF.

Massimo

Understood, though I haven't yet found any that you didn't list.

Trevor,
Mo' betta' angle of the gate guard M41C. I have several without the unit info, but that sort of adds something for your purposes.

Coordinates can be seen at bottom left.

They are and you may. I have some others of the same vehicles, from different angles. Sadly, one year, they had a sort of green Christmas light array on the Stuart for the holiday. The M60A3's were active duty vehicles at that time (mid-2000's).

The M-41 is a "Caxias" (M-41C) and has the upgraded Scania engine and extended deck to accommodate it. I believe that's also the low velocity 90mm gun.

Thanks for the lead, Doug, I'll look into 5RCC next. Are those photos yours, and if so can I use them?

I've taken a temporary detour from working on Preserved Tanks in Netherlands, but will return to it very soon. I am currently researching preserved tanks in Brazil as I may have to visit Brazil later this month, so I'm looking into what opportunities there are for visiting tank collections while I'm there. I'll finish this in a couple of days, and then get back to PTIN and answer any recent questions.

Meanwhile I'll post what I've learnt in case it's of interest to others. I've mostly researched online, but also found the Renault FT, M3 Lee/Grant and Italian light tank registers by Pierre-Olivier and Massimo very useful (P.-O., I've got some updates if you're interested).

Preserved Tanks in Brazil

I haven't found many usable photo's (though I've been able to capture some from Google StreetView) - if anyone has any photo's they'd be much appreciated.
