Armoured recovery

[Les Freathy]

Good afternoon all you tankies

I have taken a look at the titles in this forum and cannot see a dedicated thread for ARVs. I expect there may be some items within all the threads but trust you will agree to this entry, for my part i am in the main a softskin freak but over the many years of collecting photos and info i have never let an oppertunity pass toadd to my files including armour. As i collect a lot of info on recovery military and civilian the ARVs come within this scope.
Two photos to start you off

1 Sherman ARV, now i dont know if this is actually on the beach at Normondy or during rehearsals in the UK , it has the exhaust extensions fitted for wading and there is certainly some conflab going on around the turret
