Hi Niels,
Thanks for your reply, I think that by now the yard would be cleared out,

[Niels V]

Do you know what happende to all the things? where they saved og scraped?

[ron]

Hi Niels,
I dont know about all of the items but a lot of them were saved. the price of steel at that time had fallen and the owner Tony told me that it was not worth it to cut them up at time,he also liked owning them, in fact tomorrow I will post a couple of pics of two Russian tanks that arrived whilst we were talking they were complete in all ways straight from the docks, no torch work had been done even had the crews helmits inside, the gates were closed work ceased and the tanks were given a try out around the yard, now thats what you call a great day out, Regards Ron

unbelievable i remember my father telling me he once went to a scrap yard in the late 50's and they were stacked 5 high all melted down what an absolute travesty ! i cant believe how complete those T16's are its nuts, if only i could go back in time.

Don't suppose you took any pics of the M10's that were in the yard at the same time. I am restoring one that used to be there many years ago and it would be good to see if I could identify it ?
