So here I am, back again before you all, reporting back as promised.
I had put a call in to the Public Affairs Officer (PAFO) and yesterday I received a call back from Base Kingston from a Major (name forgotten) who told me there were no current plans that he was aware of to monumentise (I like inventing English) an M74 or Sherman, period.
I ask him if he was the PAFO, he said no, I asked why he was calling, he said because it was his department (base construction engineering function) that would be responsible for building a pad and he had no orders to do one and that the pad down by the Comms Museum was not for a Sherman but what it is for he could not recall.
So Frank VR and the Corps can raise their heads and I can only surmise the vehicle went for export or to a collector
regards
Robin
