Fleming). It is little more than a rusted hulk. It is missing its turret, engine and large parts of its superstructure and suspension. It is believed that it was the one recovered by the Saumur Museum from a pond at Parroy, near Lunéville, in an operation involving military divers and several recovery vehicles. [Preserved Tanks in France: Number 175].
