    I think most likely Mr Hoebig's second machine as spotted in the background of some recent-ish photos, though I do sort of wonder if that Wheatcroft man has sneakily got some parts more together than thought. He's certainly been running a lot of restorations in the last few years.

    All speculation. Though there's certainly going to be a few more complete Tiggers soonish, bitsas and otherwise. Funny as it's been decades of saying 'six' when survivors discussed.

    None the wiser and it was parked as far away from the public as possible :-(

    Someone send me these pictures of the arrival of the Tiger I at Overloon; seems it has been assembled from parts of several (six?) different Tiger tanks and has no engine, so it cannot move on its own.

    When even the Panzermuseum is a little bemused, I'm not sure we'll confidently work this one out until someone involved spills more beans.

    The silence may be due to the fact what the threat was to Frankentiger I (confiscation)..
