Was good meeting you in person today, Jakko! Thanks for the chat and sharing your photos.

It was a long, cold wait - but worth it.

Yeah, like I said yesterday, it would have been a lot better if they could have done this in September But at least something is finally happening!

Default Sherman M4A4 T-148656 was lifted off the dyke

I’ve uploaded a video of the lifting on 8 December 2020 on YouTube

See it here: https://youtu.be/vZoIQa_qBZ0

Follow the restoration of the Sherman V here:

https://www.bevrijdingsmuseumzeeland...n-tank-v-m4a4/

Currently the Sherman is being disassembled to assess which parts need repair and overhaul or replacement.

During the restoration of the Sherman V, a temporary sign has been placed in situ to inform visitors of the restoration. The sign also has a link to the website linked above.
