The PAK38 is still at 2VP.

There was a carrier there as well. The carrier had been assembled out of two, and was a bastardized mix of mk1 armour on a mk2 hull. They tried (unsuccessfully) to get it running for the anniversary that year. Later, a funding arrangement was made and it came to the museum for overhaul. I was able to get the engine running in short order, but out-door storage, a lot of wear, along with some 30 years of patchwork maintenance had really taken a toll on it. It was stripped just about to the bare hull and is now finally looking like something. It shoudl finally move under it's own power this week, once the steering box is back together and the linkages are adjusted. I think it will be one of the best carriers I have restored to date, although there are still signs on the lower that it was a mk2. Alas, that would be another thread.
