I understand the tank was refurbished . Is there any footage of the rebuild ? There is a gentleman in England who has also restored a great number of tanks and it was documented on a History show in the States.

Not to worry Eichhörnchen.



This is the rebuild of an English / British A34 Comet




Rebuild of the German Panther





Kevin Wheatcroft is the English Gentleman I spoke of who rebuilds WW2 military tanks. I understand Jacques Littlefield in the States passed away on January 7, 2009 and they both collaborated on a number of restorations.

There are many more rebuilding documentaries on youtube.


Enjoy.

Yea but you still need a TV licence even if you don't watch the BBC on the net.

No TV, No Internet panic over.

I don't watch TV in any form, not catch-up, not anything, so no licence required
