This one is a M5A1 Stuart, converted by the British Army to a gun tractor to move the 17 pdr. There were quite a number of these in Pounds and I know a number were saved.

your pictures
Terrific pictures of a time gone by Ron. Each one telling a story.
....and all on my harddrive now too. The unknown picture you posted early on may be a Cromwell hull but I'm not 100% sure.  Oh, T-34's. In 1988 where would they have come from? Surely that was too early for eastern bloc equipment?

time gone by
Hello Ryan
Thanks for the comments,My main idea was to generate some interest with some of our older members,who like myself were there when all of this was happening in the hope that they may have taken photos of what they saw to allow our younger members an insight to the past,we are all guilty at some time of thinking nothing will change and it will all be there forever so all we can ask is for people to dig out there pics and chare them with us. Regards Ron

Hi Ryan,
Sorry I did not reply to your comment regarding the Cromwell I had know idea what it was so thanks for the information, Regarding the T 34s, I am not sure what I was told but it may have been Hungary? but dont hold me to that I have forgotten,it didnt seem to matter at the time when the tanks were started up, Regards Ron
