To David and Banshee.

Gentlemen,

Among the articles I have been writing is one on Buried AFVs - the Gatekeeper at one of the barracks of the regiment in which I served, the North Irish Horse, has one.
See:http://www.northirishhorse.org/nih/Articles/BuriedAFVs.html

I will be most grateful if you would grant me permission to add your photos - with due credit to you of course.

Cheers, Gerry

So why isn't the paint all chipped after all this time? Oh yes, I remember, these are REAL vehicles!

:-) :-) Good one Maybe they forgot to apply Humbrols purple mask cote first

on a serious note, very interesting pictures. Thanks for sharing

Interesting articles Gerry, a good read!

Personally, I hope a KV2 is recovered in similar conditions. That way, we would finally have details of the internal arrangements of the turret. Curiously enough, the plans are (probably) all buried in the Russian archives somewhere - the KV2 at Kublinka had it's internal fittings ripped out and the hatches welded in place.

So, the real hope lies buried in a black swamp somewhere...

Wow thats some really neat pics, thanks for sharing...

Howdy fellas,

Wow! Great find guys.

The thing that really knocks me down for the count is, according to the video they actually started it on site!!!?!.....and then drove it!
{or am I misunderstanding the video?}

Tread.
