Can Anyone tell me where this Sherman is today ?
I heard a story that it could be in England with Kevin Wheatcroft.

Walter

Well,

Kevin Wheatcroft owns an (apparently) running M4A1E8. The beast was clearly recently repainted, and maybe restored (it is not known if the tank was already running when Kevin bought it).

It's hard to tell if Arnhem's M4A1E8 was bought by Kevin Wheatcroft, then repaired and repainted, but it is not impossible.

Hi Walter,

good to have another Dutchmen around Cool

Correct this Sherman has been sold to the UK
However I cann't tell you when this was, or to who it has been sold

I tried to find it on Trevor's AFV register ( www.afvregister.org ) in the UK, however I could not find it.
Perhaps Lesley will know, he's the one who told me that this Sherman was sold to the UK

How are they doing at the msueum with the restoration of the other Sherman and the Staghound?
When I visited the place in 2008 the hull of both where painted in red primer
The remaining parts where scattered around the place

Hi Pierre-Olivier
That's correct. The Sherman disappeared short after 2001.
At that time the Sherman and the T-34 where standing beside the museum ,with the guns pointed to the road. And the neighbour living opposite was a Doctor who protested that the tanks were illegely there.
So they moved the T-34 in front of the building and the Sherman was sold.
That was in the newspaper back then.

I tried to find the most accurate designations for various truck, tanks and artillery pieces, but some may be wrong. Please correct me if needed.

I've just spent all-day adding the Skoda 952 & 956 to the web site

I think it's about time to register to youre website

To see what is there, it also good for the statistics of total visitors Wink

I've just spent all-day adding the Skoda 952 & 956 to the web site - information sure is scarce even in my library..

Michel_Krauss

It should me wonder if you still can get original parts for this car

It's not the standard allied WW2 car that left the factory with thousands of others

The Airborne Jeep with the 20mm Polsten AA-gun they also have is an easier target to buy

www.top-occasions.com/...wEO&id=100

I cann't remember to have ever seen an gun for sale in the Netherlands

Gimme Gimme Gimme... I wonder if he will take her-indoors in part-exchange?

Michel_Krauss

Hi folks,

I found the following link to an car dealer
He has something nice for sale, something that you don't find every day

It is not an AFV, however nice to show
Because it is an 1943 German Skoda staf car

www.top-occasions.com/...wEO&id=124

It is "only" 65.000 Euro
