Some of you will have heard the story and seen the pictures of Peter Gray's Sherman that he bought from Pounds back in the 60's or 70's. Most had their turrets removed for scrap. So he bought the one at the bottom which still had a turret because it had other tanks on top of it. They hauled the resting tanks out of the way and began to tow his Sherman out (which had been left standing in gear) All of a sudden there was a cloud of smoke and the Diesel engine started up. There was a re-write up about it in 'Windsreen' a couple years ago. Ron
