Hey P-O,

You're correct! I made a typo on the M4 composite - just checked the photos and it is 44480. Thanks for catching that. I've corrected the original post as well.

Cheers!

California - Patton Memorial Museum, Chiriaco Summit - The M4 Composite has SN 14480 on the right rear tow lug

must be 44480, as it fits with a production order of 580 Composites, from SN 44228 to SN 44807.

I was at the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Ft. Eustis

Is there a M75 ?

I didn't see one while I was there.

I was at the Virginia War Museum in Newport News on 17JUN13 and saw this 2S1. It's not mentioned on the register but was mentioned in a post on this board several years ago.



[align=justify]

I was at the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Ft. Eustis on 18JUN13 and saw this M4A3(75)W and M60A3. Neither of which I recall being mentioned before.

Couldn't get close enough to see any s/n on this M4A3.










The s/n on the M60A3 appears to read 3687A while the reg number off of the glacis looks like 9B9153.

I can confirm the M47 Patton displayed at VFW Post 9473 in Reynoldsburg, OH is SN 2620, identified from the front tow lugs (it seems to have been stamped on both.)

I'll look into this when I can.

Texas Registry updates:

We found the Sweetwater, TX M103. She’s on display in Newman Park off of FM Rd 419/Oil Mill Rd (N32 29.071, W100 24.623) with a T-33 and a Huey.

The M4 High Speed Tractor listed in Grand Prarie, TX is no longer on display. The GPS coordinates listed were incorrect, but the intersection WAS correct for where it was displayed at the time the Waymarking photos were taken.

There is NOT an M1 Abrahms in Arlington, TX at Texas Army National Guard Armory, 1929 W Randol Mill Rd.

The M4A3E8 listed for McKinney, TX is on display at VFW Post 2150 located at 1710 N Church St, McKinney, TX 75069 (N33.21976, W96.61562) NOT at the American Legion Post 96, 1611 North Church St. The Sherman is S62764.

The M4 composite on display at the 12th Armored Division museum in Lubbock, TX has been patched up and a turret added since the photo in the registry link was taken. Gallery forthcoming.

Hello

At last the new updated Belgian register is ready en online. You can find it here: www.afvregister.org/Download.aspx

Michel

some corrections :


Beffe, M4A3(76) : serial number 439xx (I found it on last Sunday, after 1/2 hour scratchingn the paint off the tow lugs). The M4A3 in Clervaux is SN 43911 so the Beffe should be of the same batch, the SN should be very close to this one.

(N31 25.523 W85 37.020)

is closed and the M60A3 & M48A1 are both gone. Just empty slabs.

Neil and the gang -

We stopped by the Alabama National Guard Armory in Springville, AL to see the M42B1 Sherman Flamethrower and M60A3 listed in the registry.

Both vehicles are not currently at the armory.

I inquired as to the whereabouts of the Sherman and was told that it was at Fort McCLellan near the Ute Range? and was slated to be painted. I asked if it was to be returned to the armory in the future but that was not known.

We stopped by the Indiana National Guard Armory in Muncie, IN today to see the M4A1E8 and found an M60A0 also on display.

M60A0 is SN675, (RN8B3802 - I think - see photo below)
