Hanno, my post was in response to Tony's, to let prospective Aust buyers know their options. You would have to obtain a list of retailers in other countries from Trackpad.
I'll look forward to the comments from readers: that is the ultimate test of how well (or not!) I've handled the subject. Mike |

My copy arrived at the end of last week and whilst I have yet to read it, there is a lot to go through, a first look is very impressive. No surprise there, I bought Mikes book on the 25 pdr in Australian service last year and was very pleased with the broad coverage and level of detail, Sentinel has received the same in depth treatment.
Some fantastic photos and comprehensive information covering all elements from concept to survivors should satisfy anybody with an interest in armoured vehicle history. Perhaps the most surprising part was finding my name in the acknowledgements! A fantastic history of a most impressive tank with enough detail to satisfy a rivet counter such as myself.... Well done Mike!

Adrian,
Thank you for the positive comments. I hope you are enjoying reading it. There should have been no surprise that you were acknowledged ... you were very generous in answering my questions on the 17-pdr in the Firefly which helped in my understanding of the connection between the earlier 17-pdr mounting in the Aust Cruiser tank and the later British development that resulted in the Firefly. Always try and give credit where credit is due. ![]() Mike Last edited by Mike Cecil; 25-03-23 at 17:57. |

Hello Mike, received your book yesterday and what a great read. As one of the privileged restorers at the Tank museum Puckapunyal working on our Sentinel for the last 2 years, your publication makes perfect sense and is very informative.
Thanks again. Cheers, Dave.
