I understand from another forum that they will have a complete running Sherman Firefly also - though have not been able to confirm which version this is or where it has come from... anyone know?

It is one of the Rams that have been at mine. We did the repairs including a new section of lower hull, bulkhead, propshaft tunnel, wings etc. The restoration was carried out by C&C Military Services.

With the Aust $ the way it is, it is about time that you all came down to visit, there is this Museum, the Corowa Military Vehicle rally/gathering is on in March, there is the Aust War Memorial in Canberra and several other collections and people of interest....

Look forward to seeing you all...
