[eddy8men]

this covenanter was on otterburn range and ended up in nz. also at least one on pirbright range, I took the pic but couldn't get on the range at the time to get closer.

I can confirm the Gun Tank photo above was taken in England (There a label on the back of the original pic) i scanned these for Mark a few years ago

Thanks for that Andrew & Dave...that's 2 out of 3 queries covered...

Just wondering if the images have been posted here before?

I couldn't find them in a search?

There are many images of various vehicles but I don't wish to waste the groups bandwidth or my time if they have already been uploaded?

So who in NZ got this one?

[Lynn Eades]

So who would you expect to have it Alex?

Just to set the record straight, that Covenanter did not go to NZ, just some parts for a restoration that hasn't happened yet....

At least he's still got it and didn't cave and sell it off like a certain Cromwell, Adrian

[tankbarrell]

Better to accept I have no time and sell it to someone who will restore it and make it available for others to enjoy.

I could have just sat on it for ever, telling everyone I was going to restore it one day until I die and my wife scraps it.
I've seen that happen too many times.

Adrian I've got to ask where is the hull ? it was steve osfield that told me it had gone to nz.

Adrian, I still remember seeing that Covenanter wreck and meeting Andrew at your place when he was over in the UK gathering parts. When was that, late 1990's?!? Time sure flies when you're having fun....

I'd thought it was earlier, but I did indeed visit you in 2001 when David was still living near you and I picked up my F15A.

Must have mixed it up with the time when we were working on the Ram Kangaroo restoration back in 1993-1995 - that one was restored, albeit to static condition.
