Here's their M46 - looks like it got the blast deflector off an M47 or M48


Also, is this an M26 or an M46? I previously had it down as a Pershing...

Hi Neil:

Definitely an M46. I was there about a month ago. I couldn't find a serial on the M46, but the lug number on the T26E4 was 97. The IP M1 was in the parking lot when I was there, waiting for its concrete pad to be poured. Also a short-fuselage UH-1 (B or C?) that is apparently going to be put in a new diorama inside (once the expansion is complete).

This is a great place. My wife and I really enjoyed the museum and also McCormick's mansion. I'm looking forward to going back next summer.

Cheers,

Scott

Thanks, I guess that makes it 1 of 7 M46 survivors in the US then...

I'll have to try to check the T26 SN against Hunnicutt, thanks!

Hi Neil:

Were you looking for the serial of the IP M1 at Cantigny? I was just going through my photos and noticed that the serial stamped into the side skirts is 0685.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Hi Neil:

Let me check my notes, but it looks like 0685 (sorry, I didn't take a photo specifically of the serial tags, but here is a cropped closeup).



Cheers,

Scott
