#1: Archive Photos - Patton Museum Author: Dontos, Location: Vine Grove, KYPosted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:30 pm ---- I stumbled onto an excellent collection of archived photos on the many vehicles in the Museums Collection.
Figured some would be interested in these.
The M4A3E8 currently still at Brooks Field:
The M113A1 'ACAV' currently on static display in front of the Patton Museum:
The RSO which currently fully disassembled and located in RMP:
The Sd Kfz 223 (funk) which has been cosmetically restored and on display in the Museums WWII Gallery:
The Sd Kfz 234/4 currently stored in RMP:
The StuG III ausf G which is currently being stored in RMP:

A lot of German Armor, some which no longer is in the collection. Included are both Panzer III's....

#4: Re: Archive Photos - Patton Museum Author: Dontos, Location: Vine Grove, KYPosted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 3:31 pm ---- Sure, no problem.
Its all from the same source and it gives those who are interested a better idea of some of those older 'original' vehicles (ie condition / paint)
Thanks
Don

Great photos. It's neat to see what was, but sad to think that some of those vehicles are lost forever.

Asome stuff. Here are a few notes from your photos.
Although most are from the early 60's. Some are from the mid-50's.
#5 is actually circa 1972. The Ontos arrived in 1971 so that helps date that photo.
#11 is a view of the Panzer III w/ schutzen before it was fully restored and is now operational.
#16 exterior view, shows the Hummel that was returned to Germany and is fully restored.
#19 is one of the two Sd Kfz 251/9's that was part of the original collection that has dissappeared to 'range target' duty.
Regards
Don
