Post war stories
Thank you Rick,
I'll be following that lead. All I can say is wow, 3-4 Sentinels for 100 pounds. There has to be Sentinels or their remains out there still to see the light. Of 66 made we only know of 6 remaining? Surely not. AC Sentinels are pretty under-rated I believe. Thanks too Keith, Your work previously has been great.

Hi Ryan,
I wont divulge much, but thought i would let you know there is a guy up here who has one. I cant remember what type, but it is definitely a sentinel. Infact i think he might have 2, but i`m not sure. From memory he said it is fairly complete, not running and less turret (for a change)! I wont give any details as he is a quiet guy who stays at the back of the scene, but i`m sure he wont mind me sharing the little bit i gave on what he has. Cheers, Ian.

More Sentinels
Thanks Ian, that's terrific news.
If your friend wishes to stay in the shadows that's fine. Could you twist his arm for some serial numbers though? Surfing the web I've come across this: Pucka AC1 is serial 8030 Bovington AC1 is serial 8049 AWM AC3 is serial 8066 Did anyone get the serial numbers of the ex-John Belfield Sentinels back in 06? The bare hull was possibly prototype E2. And here is a great Sentinel info link:http://www.mheaust.com.au/Aust/Resea...sentinelmk.htm

I've attached scans of the Melbourne Tank Museum's glossy brochure for the auction in Apr 06, showing both the AC1 and AC3. Couldn't see any mention of numbers, apart from the note on the AWM number 8066.
