Lot's of great photos and I'm saving most!

Here's one out of the mainstream, a Ugandan M4A1E8:



LOVE that shade of green -- YOW!

I think the white marks are bird crap.

Howdy fellas,

Great shots guys!.....keep 'em coming! Strombringer, I've never been afraid of a haystack before, but I suppose there's always a first time!

I'm lovin' the photos gentlemen, and in an effort to find something 'different', ....here's a 'fascine-firing' Sherman photo........hope you like.



apparently the fascine super structure was attached to the turret ring so that, after releasing the first set of fascine, the turret would turn, and release the second set....

As an additional item....who can identify the trailer the Sherman is sitting on, and the truck that is pulling the trailer? It's not hard, but then, I didn't start this off as a Quiz now did I? :-)

Tread.

That M4 Composite with a 76mm is an interesting variant. Is that a photo of a test vehicle?

who can identify the trailer the Sherman is sitting on, and the truck that is pulling the trailer?



The truck/trailer combination is known as the M19. It's an M20 Diamond T Model 980/981 6x4 pulling an M9 Rogers 45 ton tank trailer. Pretty common combination in the MTO and ETO.

I'll play along, too. The only problem is I don't know what type conversion this one is....

Here's another cool shot..............
