Thanks for that.

Just goes to show you can't believe what you read on the internet, even from those who profess to have documented the locations of preserved AFVs, which is the case for Ft McMurray.

Just to be sure, have you been there/live there and had a look?

What also confuses things, is that sometimes this stuff gets moved. Aberdeen Proving Ground being the classic example.

Lets be thankful we are not into the subject of the locations/fates of WW2 U-Boats, what a can of worms that one is!

Doug,

It wasn't there at Christmas, or anytime since 1978.

Ok, thanks.

That's a definite then.

There was a display Grant that had been modified as an observation post for the British nuclear tests at Maralinga. I came across it by accident at a tiny base on the outskirts of Adelaide years ago. Then later, on the internet, I saw it listed and another one at a different location in Adelaide (Keswick).
You guessed it, there is only one and it had been moved, but the original location had never been notated to show the move or the listing deleted.

Perhaps the person who did the original listing was unaware of the move/had lost interest/just didn't care. False information hangs around just as much as correct information.

So that meant that anyone into Grants thought there were 2 nuclear ones in Adelaide.

Thus the need to verify.
