Phil, I'm no expert but that turret looks like it came off an early Crusader tank. Am I wrong? CHIMO!

"Good old photo, maybe six other views seen somewhere, its a Tiger II of the 1st Kompanie, schwere Pz Abt 503 Normandy, and yes a Bergepanther in front of the Werkstatt Kompanie, sPz Abt 503, near Vimoutiers east of Falaise August 44." I asked about the "characteristic" Bergepanther exhaust pipes, he said its a catch as not all were made like that. R. |

Staghound F.S.
Hi Derek:
I'm not a Stag expert but, if I remember correctly, Bill restored his as a Fire Support version. They had Crusader tank turrets with a 75mm that looked like a big six pounder w/muzzle brake. Bill didn't have the right barrel so he installed a Sherman 75mm barrel. That Stag is now in the RCA Museum Collection in Shilo, Manitoba. Cheers! Mike

Paul H has sent me a couple of pictures from one of his esoteric books, the first you have seen and the second shows another recognisable armoured car at the same spot. As far as we know the photographer used this location with the KT as a backdrop for a whole series of images which we think are in the IWM. These two are the usually published ones and it appears only the focal length or printing enlargement changes. R. |

Bow Gunner
Interesting that, as found, Bill's had a bow gun ball. When he restored it he plated over the bow gun as explained in Hanno's post. I remember him telling me about getting the shape of the cover plate just right. I think Stu MacDonald machined it for him.
Cheers! Mike

Staghound / bergepanther
Re the Royal Tiger/bergepanther.i have another picture of this in a book,and it is a bergepanther towing a disabled royal tiger.The both of them were caught by an air attack and shot up in Normandy.The Canadian War Museum annex had an excellent restored,running Staghound 2 years ago,but it has not been placed in the new museum as yet,I believe.Quite a few Staghounds were sold surplus in the Sorel area of Quebec in the 50's.A friend of mine shipped a few of them to collector's,notably Bill Gregg.There is still a cut-down chassis locally,but it has been sold to a potential restorer.Companies were buying them to use as snow plows,etc,with the turret removed.

Hello all,
The 12th Manitoba Dragoons received T17E3's as late as April 20th, 1945 and at that point turned in their Stag AA's. They had 12 of them in the Regiment. Here is an example from C-squadron. Marco |
