Rick,
Very sorry to hear about this outcome! Sounds like "a dime on its side" (as we say in Dutch), it could have gone either way. At least you tried, thanks for sharing this story and the pictures. I guess not all WW2 tanks can be saved  Hanno

Churchillian dissapointment
Sorry to hear the outcome Rick. You did not work in vain. You have raised our collective awareness of the worth of preserving these hostorical military artefacts. Well done! Robert

thanks guys the sad thing is the spares from those churchills would have helped with the restoration of at least 4 others and it wasn't just churchills, there were conquerors and cents as well.
