    Here is something interesting. For the last year or so, I have been following partial information and rumors of WWII-era tank hulks located in an area that was formerly the training area for Fort Meade, MD. Last week, my friends and I finally found the remains the tanks - four British Crusader MK III tanks and one US M5 Stuart quietly lying in the woods. Here are a few photos.

    Regards,
    Marc

    Here is a photo of one of the engine blocks - dated 1942.

    well done marc

    it would be nice to recover enough to restore one but from what i can gather on facebook there is little chance.
    good luck with it and thank you for finding these old war horses
