Reportedly, the one pictured above was temporarily removed in 2007 for restoration. Let’s hope it wil be back for this year’s commemorations.

Over on the G503 forum, there are some pictures of a recently restored LVT-2: Normandy 2009 - look what I found. Most likely this is the one which was at Utah Beach previously. Seeing in what condition it was, and to get to this stage, >90% of the parts must have been replaced/remanufactured.
