Terry, thanks for those links. A general search on the Sherman tank gives 65 photos, but only two are of the 1st Hussars. I think that is the best that can be done, as I come up empty in trying to utilize the associated MIKAN number. As you say, the catalog archives are incomplete, and I've seen other Hussar photos found elsewhere in books and the internet. The search engine too isn't the best, example - inputting
'Sherman 1945' and the first page results are of the singer Ann Murry??
Hanno thanks for pointing out the typo, grammatical error on my part.
Chris, thank you for the low down on the antennas. The A set aerial - would it be tapered, or uniform diameter top to bottom, and any idea the diameter?
This is a top view of the antenna pot located on the hull front. Would the hole confirm there was an aerial in there at one time? It does seem to match the one on the turret bustle.
regards,
Jack
