Swords to Plough shares Grant or Lee tank

[Mike Cecil]

Novel use for an M3 series Grant (flatter/lower profile turret with a bustle).

Nice find, Rick.

Hi Mike, that's a Stag turret alright. There are photos around of a derelict Grant on a farm at Murrayville (Victoria) with one but no beams welded to the roof. I initially thought it might be the same tank but the derelict has M4 bogies. I wonder how well the turret rings interfaced? Obviously a similar diameter...

Thanks for spotting my error - never assume anything at first glance!!

Have to wonder why ...
