Sometimes items like a crappy BSA bike have no place in the paramount "Military Museum" in Australia.

I concour fully with the above!
BUT...
Surely the AC1 Sentinel or AC3 Thunderbolt deserve a place in the AWM- did or didn't Mike Cecil have his head screwed on properly when he bought the Diamond T for 27k (as thats where it went wasnt it?- the AWM) and not one of these tanks- which in comparison to the Sentinel and Thunderbolt, the Diamond T is a common vehicle!
Why did they do this? Seems like a bad idea to me? At least at the AWM they would be on display/accessible? Not in a shed here or abroad...
As a side note- I`m not sure where the article got its info- John B i guess, but I know there is another Sentinel- AC1 (i believe) in NSW- TURRETLESS though, but it and the owner keep a VERY low profile!
Cheers,
Ian.
