I suppose I wouldn’t say it was common knowledge, but known amongst a few I think. But very few knew exactly where it was, just that it was in the woods somewhere. These woods have gone very much unmanaged for decades and this tank needed a machine to shift it. I suppose those factors meant that those that knew didn’t have the means or motivation. I think the plan is to get some of it to the elevenses cabin. Which will be mega for first day this season! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We’ve been working in these woods heavily all year, thinning, laying and clear felling to improve it ecologically and for shooting. My mate who’s coordinating this operation has lived round here all his life and used to knock about with the old keeper as a kid. He knew about this tank and when this wood fell into the ownership of the shoot and he had free reign to improve the wood the hunt for the legendary tank was on. After I saw the excavated wreckage and had ten mins on google I identified it as a ww2 Covenanter. A fatally flawed design by all accounts that ended up largely being used for training.

No idea who ended up with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
