Interesting conversation fellahs
Great photo's Anthony... thanks very much for sharing them.
The story I heard about the Firefly Luke, was the pom's offered to fit the 17 pounder to the Shermans to give it the ability to tangle with the Tiger 1 ( and anything else the Germans had...Mark IV's, Panthers etc). But the Yanks were for some reason very distrustful of the Brits meddling with their tanks so not many were converted. Apparently fitting the British gun involved reversing the existing turret. Interesting to hear they may have based it off something we did with the Sentinel. The Firefly must have been effective though. It got Micheal Wittman which would have been no mean feat. Even if he did drive into their ambush.
