Some pictures taken inside the Vehicle Conservation Centre. Image quality is not that great but some pieces are rare or even unique:

This tank was moved out of the VCC and we finally got a decent picture of it:

Seems it's on long term loan:

The Tankfest guide mentions that the SU-100 was scheduled to run, after an inspection they figure out it needs a bit more work than expected, so they will tacle the SU-100 first, then the T-34 (since they are mechanically identical)

A recent acquisition, coming from The Finnish Military Museum, Sotamuseo. There is a plan to make it running again, hopefully pretty soon

I thought it was on loan for Tankfest, didn,'t know the museum acquired it. Very interesting !!
