Aussie Sentinel tanks

[Luke R]

G'day all
I was speaking to a young local bloke at the James swan clearing sale and he told me about the time he and james removed the turret off a sherman tank.
At the time I just thought he ment Lee/Grant or Stuart until he started to talk to me about the 3 v8 engines in it.
I didnt get the young blokes name and had to get back to the auction.

Does anyone else know anything about it or was he feeding me bulls*@t

Many years ago James did have 1 or 2 Sentinals, they may have been bought from the Melb Tank Museum when John had his sale.
Where they went I am unsure.

The 3 Sentinels at the 2006 auction as far as I have been able to find went as follows:
E1 hull stayed with John
AC1 went to the United States
AC3 went (?) to collector in QLD.

Ryan,

I think AC1 went to the Jacques Littlefield collection in California.

Thanks Rich, I thought so.

Luke, you and me will just have to uncover some more with some thorough digging.

Well how many do we know still exist?

AC1 at pucka
AC1 at Bovington
AC1 at Littlefields ex John Belfield
E1 hull still with John Belfield

AC3 ex John Belfield did it go to the AWM?

Is there any other well known sentinels?

That still leaves over sixty unaccounted for.
The hunt is on.
