hanno I went to look for the turret but had no luck and no locals knew of it so might have been a wild goose chase although the farmer told me of a bofors next to a river nearby but that had also gone in the last couple of years
 I did find the remains of a Cromwell on a range nearby but only just enough to fill 2 shopping bags ! the chunk of steel is the mantlet with a piece of bronze cradle still bolted to it. rick WP_20150415_16_18_06_Pro.jpg WP_20150415_16_18_21_Pro.jpg

Found the tread on Fylingdales range. I'm sorry to hear the turret is gone. Here's hoping it ended up in someone's barn - better for it to be tucked away than chucked in the scrap bin  Hanno hpim1082 (1).jpg

I also hope it has been saved but the truth is it probably got taken to the nearest scrap yard
 I have to work faster to save this stuff, don't seem to be having much luck lately. rick

it's still there but has deteriorated a little from the pics i initially saw on the web. i've emailed the landowner for permission to recover it and don't see any issues once i get the go ahead as access is very good and thing only weighs about 100 kg. i did look for the rest of it underneath but wasn't that fortunate
 if all goes to plan i'll get it back to the workshop this month and dry it out before tacking it back together while i decide what to do with it.
