Hi Richard,
This does the round every year or so, I was sent an article out of a Komatsu magazine about it, naturally lots of pics showing the Komatsu Dozers (2 I thought) dragging it out.
Always reads like they poured some fuel into it and drove away, however I beleive they had to cannabalise another engine and do some major work to get it running. Beleive there is UTube footage of it firing for the first time (much "Hi-Fiving" and yahoos), and its first drive (Turret not refitted).
Still one hell of a story
Rich.
