Panther Now in Trouble

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Some background info on the Panther here: http://preservedtanks.com/Profile.as...ID=48&Select=1

This Panther has a plaque on its glacis plate identifying it as number four of the Panthers and Jagdpanthers built by the British. It is fitted with swirl-cowl exhausts. It was bought by a scrap merchant in a War Department sale in the 1950’s and remained in his scrap yard in Surrey, England, until it was discovered in October 1977. It was then recovered, in a badly damaged and incomplete state, and transported to Germany. It has since been restored to running order, although it is still missing some fittings.

But next I read that he was apprehended on being under suspicion of fencing Nazi art and memorabilia, a serious breach of law in Germany

Hanno, are you sure it's Flick? I read on the web somewhere that Flick sold the Panther 10 years ago (?).
