Hi Ian,
Really interesting set of images of the M48 being loaded. This was one of the loan tanks, fitted with a mine roller system, used by 1 Fd Sqn (RAE) for route clearance. There are a couple of images of it in Mud and Dust, too. As Dianna has queried, the tank had the name 'SEPTIC' painted on it at one stage (for Septic tank = Yank ... an endearing term for our US allies!)
I'd certainly like high res .jpeg or .tif copies of these please, and you fathers name in full, and unit if possible. Could you please send them direct to me via email at
mike@krystiimelaine.com?
Great images!
Mike
