Bil Hardenberger Posted December 22, 2000 Share Posted December 22, 2000 It's a one of a kind MK IV with a special experimental drive train. And yes, it is located in Aberdeen (about 2 hours from me) Bil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hofbauer Posted December 22, 2000 Share Posted December 22, 2000 I'll up one ya, Maximus seriously, color my toenails green and paint my hair purple, but this definitely looks like an early Sherman hull to me, so it can't be a VC...could it possibly be one of those elusive, existence-questioned IIC's ? (I seem to remember there was a discussion somewhere about the IIC and whether it actually existed)...notice the rear end of the hull above the tracks...it surely isn't an M4A3 but an M4 hull...or what do you think? anybody who lives near Aberdeen ? David, Bil, can you give us more dee-tails?? warning-disclaimer: I'm not a sherman-expert so I might be totally off here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Napoleon1944 Posted December 23, 2000 Share Posted December 23, 2000 People go there and come away thinking the Germans painted thier tanks white! These tanks just sit and rust away. I bet that Grasshopper tank there is one-of-a-kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever Babra Posted December 23, 2000 Share Posted December 23, 2000 The Sherman is a Sherman IIIC (M4A2 with 17 pdr). It was a trials version which underwent testing at Aberdeen and never left, later becoming a part of the exhibit. The turret bustle contains radio equipment, not ammo. ------------------ "From Halifax or Newfiejohn Or Derry's clustered towers, By trackless paths where conning towers roll, If you know another group in which You'd sooner spend your hours, You never sailed beneath the Barber Pole!" -- Escort Group C5 sailing song.
