New addition to the TMVM

[SableLiger]

I went over to Pima Air & Space Museum to view the “Philippine Mars” after it was fully assembled and on display and decided to hit the back lot, and discovered a very nice addition to the Tucson Military Vehicle Museum.

A Chieftain Mk10 in Berlin Camo. The tank was a bit far away and my iPhone’s picture is not as good. I would love to know where the tank came from before we got our hands on it.

But yeah. There are more vehicle being brought in, but like I’ve told one of the folks there, they really need to build another hangar, to stretch the vehicles out a bit and not have then literally stacked one atop the other.

One of my favorite tank camo patterns! Great to see one in a museum here in the states. Are there others maybe?

There was a museum in Kansas that closed down a few years ago and I bet it’s from there.

Now that you mentioned; the place is called “House of Tank”; near WIchita. I looked at pictured of their site and noticed their A34 Comet Cruiser tank is the exact same one we have here…

They have some other tanks that would look great in our collection; like their German Gepard 1A1 and their Leopard 1A5 as well.

Thats the place. I was there about three years ago and they has a Chieftain under a tarp outside the building, if I remember correctly?

Still on Google street view.

Chieftain Mk5 in Berlin Camo

Mk10

OK, my bad. Hard to keep track of all the versions of the Chieftain.

[SableLiger]

COnfirmed.

Via Google Maps.

Also have a very rusty M41 Walker-Bulldog…

And a British FV180 CET (Combat Engineer Tractor)

Then they have this one under a tarp, which i suspect it’s a British Churchill tank by the small roadwheels.

Interesting to see how many of the House of Tank’s vehicles made it to Arizona. (fingers crossed)

They also.sold their FT17 to the museum in Dubois, Wyoming and it has a checkered past.

[SableLiger]

That would be the National Museum of Military Vehicles.
