Staghound / bergepanther
Re the Royal Tiger/bergepanther.i have another picture of this in a book,and it is a bergepanther towing a disabled royal tiger.The both of them were caught by an air attack and shot up in Normandy.The Canadian War Museum annex had an excellent restored,running Staghound 2 years ago,but it has not been placed in the new museum as yet,I believe.Quite a few Staghounds were sold surplus in the Sorel area of Quebec in the 50's.A friend of mine shipped a few of them to collector's,notably Bill Gregg.There is still a cut-down chassis locally,but it has been sold to a potential restorer.Companies were buying them to use as snow plows,etc,with the turret removed.
