Wanted: ram/sexton tank drivers hatch

[Colin Alford]

Gents,

I have been aware of this matter for approx. 1 1/2 years now but was purposefully keeping quiet.

The remains of the vehicles were pulled off of the ranges in the early fall of 2016. Their fate is still somewhat in question due to differing interpretations of regulations regarding approved methods for the disposal of Hard Targets.

There are a few of us in the local area that have been attempting to exert the necessary pressure to ensure that these items are not just scrapped as there are many useable parts.

A rough inventory:
4 Rams (2 hulls largely intact, 2 very blasted),
2 HVSS Shermans,
1 Centurion,
1 Chaffee (turret not recovered yet),
1 Leopard 1 hull; and
3 AVGPs.

Shortly before Christmas there was another appeal made which hopefully will help gain some traction.
