Lesley -

You are correct - I misidentified the Type 69 as a T-54. I've corrected the gallery and my forum post - Thanks!

Will edit the above registry post to reflect that as well.

I have no idea where the T-62 was previously displayed - sorry.
Cheers,
VB

Hi Vagabond,
Is this the same T-62 which was located at the paintball park (l/n there nov11)?

I have also a Type 69 at the Infantry School, is this one of the T-54s you mention?

Regards,
Lesley

Hey Neil -

While running about aboard Camp Pendleton, we have some AFV location updates for you as follows -

The 3 LVTs previously displayed along C St between 12th & 13th are now on display along the West side of Wire Mountain Rd near the Camp Del Mar entrance. They are an LVTE1, an LVTR1, and an LVTH6.

An LVTP5 and an LVTH6 are displayed near the corner of where C St becomes 8th St.

The YW531 is still on display at B St and 8th St (Nearer 9th and B St actually) - very near the LVTP5 and LVTH6.

The LVTP7 and LVTR7 are still displayed on Boat Basin Rd & 9th

DID NOT SEE - ZSU-23-4 or 2S1

Further North:

The LAV Memorial along Basilone Rd has an LAV-TUA on display. The nearby area was under construction but as of 6/4/12 there was no LAV-25 on display.

The static display at the School of Infantry West along Basilone Rd has the following on display:

57 mm AZP S-60
BMP-1
T-62
T-54/Type 59
2 ZPU-4s
ZPU-1 14.5mm
2A36 "Giatsint-B" 152mm
D-30 130mm gun
Early T-55

Another lucky find, this time Barboursville, West Virginia, at a Veterans Home. It's hard to tell at this size, but my best guess is either M41 Walker Bulldog or maybe M47 Patton? The former might fit given that WVa seems to have a lot of M41's. Date of satellite imagery is 4/13/2011, so it's almost certainly still there; I've got a trip planned this fall that will include this one, unless VB beats me to her Smile

Where is now the M50 Super Sherman ?

Last I heard the Strathcona Restoration Troop has it and are putting a 75mm turret on it . Recceboy knows more details.

Jim

well, if it is true, I think that it is ridiculous. Why putting apart an original M50 Super Sherman to try to convert it into an M4A4 that will not look original anyway !!

That reminds me the rare Firefly that was converted back to 75mm Sherman, would have been better to exchange it for an original 75mm tank and to preserve it as a Firefly :

Thanks for the serial of the T-72, it is a Polish built tank.
