Darren Baker shares with us a walk around of the American M24 Chaffee light tank. The example shown here is on display at Bovington Tank Museum.

Great timing Darren, this one's next one my list.
Thanks.



I still need to get more pics and measurements of those bins though.

No worries Darren - I'm going there anyway soon.
I'm local to Bovington (Poole).

Hi,

It's nice to see an M24 in such good shape. I had a chance to crawl around on one as an ROTC student back when dinosaurs were still baying in the swamp. That 75 mm gun with the concentric recoil spring is the same one used in the B-25 bomber.
