It is in Iraq. They have been finding and pulling out other WWII and WWI armour out of there. A PT17 was rescued for the Patton museum , and I have seen pics of A Churchill and other armour.

Iraq, correct. The Iraqis had gathered quite a collection of WW2 armour, including Sherman and Churchill tanks, M36 SP AT Guns, and as we have seen here Daimler A/C's plus that elusive Indian Pattern Wheeled Carrier.

If you mean FT-17, that one was found in Afghanistan (where there's another Indian Pattern Wheeled Carrier ).
