Today was the day! Went there early in the afternoon, met Hanno IRL a bit later (he’s the one all the way on the right in the first photo) and talked about AFVs, landings, etc. Then we took some photos when the crane and transporter eventually arrived, only several hours after the originally intended time

Was good meeting you in person today, Jakko! Thanks for the chat and sharing your photos.

It was a long, cold wait - but worth it.

Yeah, like I said yesterday, it would have been a lot better if they could have done this in September But at least something is finally happening!

Default Sherman M4A4 T-148656 was lifted off the dyke

I’ve uploaded a video of the lifting on 8 December 2020 on YouTube

Follow the restoration of the Sherman V here:

https://www.bevrijdingsmuseumzeeland...n-tank-v-m4a4/

Currently the Sherman is being disassembled to assess which parts need repair and overhaul or replacement.
