Portuguese FATs
 

Several years ago Eric Delcomemme published some pics on his website of a number of Ford FGTs in Portugal.
He went to try to buy one but the price asked was too steep.
I seem to recall they are now gone, but does anyone have an update?

Has anyone heard from Eric lately?

Re: Portuguese FATs
 

The story (at least five? years old) goes they were scrapped. As were the Grizzly APCs in 1996. . .

Yes, you may cry now!

P.S.: I briefly saw Eric last summer at a show, but did not get the chance to talk to him other than to say hi.

Very sad
 

Bit of a tragedy for them to have survived so long in such good condition... :bang:

I know of one rear body which came from Portugal. It was used in the restoration (finished last year) of an ex-Danish Army CGT chassis/cab. This CGT lives in Holland.

Other than that, I have heard rumours of ex-Portuguese FGTs in the UK, but have never seen any proof.
