Interesting photo of a Cromwell (I think it might be a Comet due to the size of the turret ring) on Theddlethorpe beach Lincolnshire that was used as a target by the RAF. I find it interesting because the outer of the two hull skins has been blown or rusted off and you can see the Christie suspension. Long springs with dampers mounted on top. The big wheels were mounted onto arms that pushed and pulled the springs. You can also see the Merrit-Brown transmission and what looks like the cylinder liners of the Meteor engine.


Stock Photo - This is a Cromwell Tank (I Believe) that was used as target practice for the R.A.F. Its located on the beach at Theddlethorpe
