Dave Posted January 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 12, 2015 Back in this link http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/212292-sherman-tank-lovers/ I had mentioned that I had gotten some of the photos of the Super Shermans (unrestored) that were brought to the UK from Israel. I finally ran across them last night (they are from the early 90s) and scanned them for posterity. I really don't know much about these at all, but for those of you who do...enjoy the photos!!!

hbtcoveralls Posted January 12, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 12, 2015 The late Tony Budge imported a bunch of these in the 80s-90s into Britain. It's interesting that you don't see them more at shows, but I did see one at Beltring years ago. They are full of interesting modifications Tom Bowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
