Rikard,

please note that the Panzermuseum is at Munster, not M******252;nster- the latter is a charming university town about a two-hours drive from the Panzermuseum. Coming from Sweden you'd hit Munster and the Panzermuseum first when driving South, it's only about 75 km or so from Hamburg, situated in Luneburg Heath.

And yes, the Tiger I was supposed to be airlifted to the US, but the crashed C-5 and the subsequent grounding of the fleet has thrown the schedule out of the window, according to inside sources the Tiger will be shipped in May or June. Note that the crashed C-5 was not the particular airplane that would have carried the Tiger, it was just the cause of the aftereffects mentioned.

Cheers,

Jens O.

I know I just keep spelling it with umlauts, old habits die hard

Last I heard the APG Tiger I is being shipped back to Aberdeen ASAP. Apparently the Tiger isn't the only APG vehicle in Wheatcroft custody, I've heard of two more that were previously at M******252;nster that are now supposed to be in storage in England.

Rik, here are the two vehicles which were exposed either at Munster or at Sinsheim and are currently in Mr Wheatcroft's collection (I have some pics of both vehicles when on display in Germany) :



You can see the Wespe (previously exposed at Sinsheim) and the Panzer II (seems to be in running condition, it was on loan at Munster) which belong to Aberdeen.

This is Marder II, not Wespe.

Yes, of course it's a Marder II, thanks for correcting me..
