I can't recognize the howitzer on it..doesn't look to be the same, maybe the howitzer on the Aberdeen GPF is in recoiled position..? but you seems to be true, Neil.. I just wonder where the GPF 194 from Hannover is now..

Bob, u were a "kid" in the 80's? Am i the oldest person in here? My pictures start in the sixties... 61 here.....

No I remember my father driving us down the Mile of Tanks as a kid in the 60s. I didn't start going to Aberdeen on a regular basis again until the late 90s.

Pierre-Olivier,
A very interesting file - I have an embarassing number of pictures in it.

I found the pictures of a Hanover "St Chamond" to be most interesting... In fact, I am very certain it is a GPF 194 (I think it was just built by St Chamond rather than based on the chassis) like the one at APG - which was thought to be the only survivor!

I cant figure out how to link to the pics on this page, but compare!:

The suspension in particular is unmistakeable IMO!

Neil, I have a complete set of the "Mile of Tanks' and most of the rest of Aberdeen, these were done done in the 1980's.....of course all are prints so the quality isn't what it could be......... I guess I could scan a "mile of tanks" topic.............

It looks like your 'Mile of Tanks' is the one I remember from my childhood before the 'Mile' was shortened when they built the new Maryland Ave Gate. I'm not sure when that actually was (I think sometime in the '80s) but everything before the M3 Stuart was put in storage at that point. I vaguely remember it starting with the WWI tanks ( Mk VIII & FT17?)

That would be great. There arent a lot of good pics online from that era... Some from the 1990s, but the ones I have seen didnt look as good quality as the M1921 you posted.

Each time I get what I request on the internet within one hour or one minute, I wonder how I did before..

Thanks Neil for this photo. Is this one also dating from 2003?

Do you have this Kubinka FT-17, or is it an MS-1?

Neil

It's a Russian-made FT-17. It is already listed.
Neil, when did you take the photos at Fort Meade? They are all dated from July 2003 (in the photo properties) but I doubt they are so old...

Yes, actually they are - they are some of my oldest pictures at good resolution.

Here it is, the first release of the Surviving WW1 tanks PDF list, including Lil' Willie, Mk I to Mk IX British tanks, Whippet, A7V, St-Chamond, Schneider, the Skeleton Tank, M19818 3-ton tank and reproductions of WW 1 tanks :

Surviving WW1 tanks

I didn't include 1920's tanks for the moment, it will come later, maybe in this document but most probably in another one.

Stil looking for pics of :
Mark V which serves as a memorial in Arkhangelsk (Russia)
Two Mark V in storage at Luhansk (Ukraine)
Mark VIII â€œLibertyâ€? â€“ Aberdeen Proving Ground (USA)
Mk A Whippet, Army College, Pretoria (South Africa)
M1918 Ford 3-ton tank â€“ Aberdeen Proving Ground (USA)
