Restoration Cromwell tank in antwerp (1 Viewer)

[bricoleur]

The Royal British Legion, branch Antwerp, will organise on 7th September 2014 a special service of Rememberance of the Cromwell Tank Memorial in Antwerp.
After a 3 year restoration programme by the Belgian Military the Cromwell Tank again will be part of our historical streetview. Prince Laurent will represent HM King Filip at the official service.
It was the first British tank that entered our town and defeated the German defence line in 1944.

Also available in the K&C collection

Very nice scene Bricoleur and it's great the Belgians are doing a remembrance and have restored this iconic British tank. The Cromwell is one of my favourite K&C vehicles.

Thanks bricoleur, they certainly have done a good restoration job. The old girl looks like she has come straight from the factory brand new!
