Preserved Tanks

About PreservedTanks.com

PreservedTanks.com has been created by Trevor Larkum of Armour Archive to provide information on preserved tanks around the world. It is being built initially using the content from existing Armour Archive publications, including Preserved German Tanks 1: A7V to Panzer IV, Preserved German Tanks 2: Panzer V Panther to Leopard 2, Preserved Tanks in France, Preserved Tanks in Russia, and so on (these publications are available as paperback books from Armour Archive).

The first books to be put online were Preserved German Tanks Volumes 1 and 2 (see the links at the top). So far the first chapter of Preserved Tanks in Russia, covering Kubinka Tank Museum, is also online whilst the first chapter of Preserved Tanks in France, covering Normandy, is in the process of being added.

The site went online publicly, in beta form, on Sunday 8th June 2008.

Preserved Tanks in Norway

I'm currently on a trip to Norway, that's included a visit to its most well known military museum, the Forsvarsmuseet in the Akershus Fortress, Oslo. It has a number of tanks and other vehicles in its collection, though some are stored away from its Oslo premises.
Shown here are an M24 Chaffee outside the museum, a view of the front entrance (with M48 and Leopard 1), and a Panzer I in a tableau inside.

More details to follow.
