M48 - Jeffersonville Indiana
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: M48 - Jeffersonville Indiana

While at work today and armed with my camera, I was able to finally get a few photos of this vehicle.

No SN data as there is too much paint. Also the 'RN' that is painted on the left & right sponsons is actually the casted number on the rear of the tank, so obviously no0t an accurate RN.

Regards
Don

Hi Don, My mom lives right down the street from that, did you happen to know that whole area is the old Jeffersonville Quartermaster Depot, all US field gear collecters know the marking JQMD on gear. You do know that there are 2 M60's in New Albany? Kiesler used to have a walker but its gone somewhere.

Thats Cool!! I'm in and out of Jeffersonville and New Albany several times a week. Even occasional trips to Madison, bypassing the old Ammunition Plant. There are a couple of Howitzers at the Armory in New Albany, guess I need to check the Register, as I haven't seen the two M60's. Regards Don

I forgot about the M59's, saw them a couple of weeks ago. I still don't remember the M60's. Guess I need to keep my 'eyes peeled'. I'm trying to get photos & info on all the vehicles in the wide geographic area that I regularly visit, primarily most of Kentucky, and Southern Indiana. I just gotta remember to have my camera while at work. Regards Don
