    I found some pictures on one of my computers from a 2008 visit. I was in the area and made a rushed visit because I knew the collection was being moved.

    Here's Little David. It looked like it had been parked in the same spot since the late 40s

    They had just finished giving this one a cosmetic paint job and had it in a parking lot staged for moving. Same thing for the Firefly and Elephant

    16" Coast Artillery. This is the 16"/45 which was used in Colorado class battleships. Film shows it being fired for some West Pointers in the mid twenties. It is still in the same spot today and can be seen on Google Earth next to all the empty concrete pads where the tanks were parked

    Heuschrecke 10 for Adam. I was in such a rush that I was actually jogging through the place when I was taking these or I would have gotten better ones. Also some Mark IV shots

    Jagdtiger with some rude subliminal camouflage. This one is down at Fort Benning now. Also a Mark I with a tribute to Young Frankenstein

    A Priest, two tanks I can't identify (without more effort than I want to spend at the moment :) ) and some long shots

    Inside

    Didn't see the Stewart at Fort Benning during a couple of visits. Also no clue what happened to the small arms
