Anyone know where to find photos of the Sherman tank the flamethrower trailer like the one used with the British Crocodile??? I thought I remembered seeing this somewhere with very descriptive photos/drawings. Thanks.

Some time last year Steve Zaloga did a build article on the Sherman Crocodile in Mil Mod, and there is one photo of it in 'Enyclopedia of British and American Tanks of WW2', Chemberlain and Ellis.
Basically a Sherman M4 with a Churchill Crocodile trailer. The fuel pipe runs around the right side of the tank instead of underneath, with the flame gun beside the co-drivers hatch.

There are some pics of Steve's Sherman Croc in the Missing Links Gallery: http://www.missing-lynx.com/gallery/usa/szcroc.htm
I think this was a pretty uncommon vehicle, especially compared to the Churchill Crocodile. I haven't seen many actual photos of them.
