Trip
We made it across the border with only a few
 holes in the rear of the car.  Murrayville was a bit of an eye opener. I counted the remains of 3 Matildas and 5 Grants. And a Staghound (?) turret. I can see why stuff has gone missing over the years, as it's right next to the highway. I spoke to one of the Peers who didn't know who actually owned it all but knew it wasn't for sale. It was all there for people to look at and enjoy. Go figure.

some more
One of the Grants was well hidden and surrounded by piles of metal and undergrowth.
They still have a lot of good bits on them. I wonder what they looked like years ago.

1973
I can hardly believe it, but I took this pic of a C15A Wireless Sigs van at Murrayville back in 1973, 39 years ago.

Hi Keith, I wonder what happened to the Blitz. I can see a Grant lurking in the background too.
I noticed between my photos and those of Rick Cove's, one of the Grants is now missing it's 75mm gun mantlet.
