Well preserved to say how long it's possibly been under there.

But peat-bogs have an anaerobic effect don't they? (lack of Oxygen)

Guessing it was one of the last 76 models made (caste turret) so that would make it 1942/1943. Captured and used by the germans so it probably sank about 1944. 60 years in the muck, yee gods.

And some people think I'm the one with an Anorak (Frankie-Boy, Andy) :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Only kidding, I'd never have known that - only that it was circa WW2

This is also 'well stuck'.
'Piglets' pilot & 'financial foster father' initally posted this site a long time ago when 'Mud-Club' was in its infancy.

I hope the link works for you.

Otherwise it's 'Trail Reports'  & then 'JEEP Buried At Kink'

It's what happens when playing around in Alaskan rivers

Dont tempt me to switch to anorak mode as regards WW2 tanks n such, I could point out for instance that the T34 had a lower ground pressure per square inch then the human foot and inspired the german designers to build the famous panther. Also that more T34s were built than any other tank EVER and also had the longest service life of any tank ever built (some are still in service in africa).

But I wont point any of that out as I wouldnt want to bore anybody to death :roll:

To much crap in my brain.  :oops:

perhaps you should rephrase that to "was it as bad as the Sherman tank"  :D
 The T34 was the 1st tank to utilize sloping armour and modern tanks have the (roughly ) the same suspension (although the suspension was copied from the American prototype Christy<sp?> tank, which the americans didn’t develop any further).  Also the T34 was designed to be simple in the extreme and any job could be done on it by using only 4 tools (one of which was a big hammer) although I don’t know how they went about replacing an engine (probably didn’t and just built another tank).

The sherman on the other hand was a tank designed by committee (well 3 committees actually, all of whom could stop a change by another). The sherman was primarily designed so that it could be easily transported by ship/train so weight was a limiting factor, hence its relatively thin armour. The americans called it a "Purple Heart Box" and the british called it a "Ronson" as it would light up every time, first time.
Sorry to disalusion you  :oops:
