M3 Medium Lee/Grant rear fenders

[Mike K]

Talking of tanks . Just after WW2 , three local chaps here , formed a consortium and they purchased many tanks . Story goes that they employed drivers and they drove them from Puckapunyal to West Gippsland ( try doing that today ). Included were Stuarts , Matildas and Grants . In order to save fuel, usually two were hitched together and one towed the other. A Grant lived within a stones throw of me here , just down the road , it went to the Narre Warren collection. They also purchased many tons of NOS spares ,new motors and such. Some were converted to dozers and are still hiding away in the hills of Gippsland ..you just have to know where to look.

You really know how to turn a man on Mike.

Alex,

I picked up yet another side sand shield and another rear fender, good for patterns and now also at the museum.

There are some more on another scrap pile which I will ''bring in from the cold' next time I'm out that way.

Cheers

Phill
