I totaly agree with you my friend. The tank park and museum are certainly worth a visit. The Mk1 and Mk 2 Carriers inside are very original so are the CMP trucks. A real treat . I consider myself lucky to have been tasked here . Cheers . Robert

Default Major Radley-Walters Firefly

Friends, i saw a Sherman identified to this most important war hero. Is it really his or is it just a Firefly identified to him ? I was a bit taken aback when i realised his name was on it. Almost caused a traffic accident . Did a 180 degree turn into uncoming traffic . I was on my way out to the airport .

Default Firefly

Good thing you did into get into an accident as the Firefly markings are pure fiction.

Thanks Ed. There are a few famous Shermans that were rapatriated like "the Bomb" from the Fusiliers in Sherbrooke . Unless you tell me this one is also a fantasy... That would break my heart though. That would be really painfull . Robert
