Thanks Terry,

Some good info there.

I dont think making it roadworthy is an option at all. What I know of the vehicle is that it lacks engine and other vital parts. Just the hull and wheels remain. So painting it, fixing some loose parts and jacking up the axles again and placing the vehicle under some sort of roof would help a lot, I suppose.

Unless someone in Suriname has a loose CMP engine.

Default Otters from Surinam

Hi all,

Found an interesting snippet on the Dutch KTR Forum, thanks Arjan,

It says here that recently 2 otters were rescued from the Surinam Jungle, and now in the Netherlands Zwijndrecht TRIS museum (TRoops In Suriname) see picture.

Does anyone know anything more about this venture??

Cheers,

Lex Schmidt

Lex,

Thanks for the heads-up. This is the first time I've heard about this. Here's hoping they are going to recover a Marmon-Herrington tank one day!
