That's a very short video. Are you sure it's only supposed to be 7s long?
Copied from facebook. no more informations. May be a firefly tank ?
A sherman with 76mm gun by the looks of it (see mantlet). Not a firefly.
M4A2 (76)
Any idea where that is or did I miss that?
Old clip from the Russian Navy - the Northern Fleet salvaged US tanks and other vehicles from arctic convoy wrecks around Murmansk during training exercises. Remarkably they restored a Sherman and a Lee to running condition. Not sure how many original parts they could reuse though.
I wouldn’t have thought much would be any good after being on the sea so long… I live near Bournemouth and apparently there are a few tanks, Valentines maybe, off the coast this way from when they were experimenting with DD prior to D-Day
