Canadian Sherman Firefly questions

[Alex van Riezen]

Hi all,

Here are some corrections:

C99205-5528 is a number from a part on the front of the tank so please forget it.

I found the vehicle serial on stamped on two boss-es on the rear of the tank. It says 5228.

The registration number 30126631 is painted on both sides of the tanks is 100 % post war painted by the Dutch.

I quote this text from the excellent Panzerwrecks 1 book page 44: According to a Canadian Army report the vehicle still had it's name "Aventure" altough that cannot be seen here.

Is it possible that they mistyped the name and it should be "Adventure" or do they mean "A venture". And where would that name be placed normally on Canadian tanks?
