JDog Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 On our walk along the beach this morning we came across this thing. It may be the remains of a tank as it had a circular thingy on top which I presume was for the turret to rotate. This will be perfect for the Master Craftsman's next project.

I always thought that was a 17 pounder...? Quick edit, lifted from wiki 👍 . It was based on the US M4 Sherman, but fitted with the powerful 3-inch (76.2 mm) calibre British 17-pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon.
