Hello,

been searching to find a picture of an M26 or M46 parked on a dirt ramp in Korea for use as indirect fire. I have come across a few pictures of USMC M46s on ramps but am looking for one that has an M26 (or several) on dirt ramp that is quite steep. I have found a youtube video of it but know there are some still shots as well. Any help is appreciated.

TIA
Bret

M46 :






I'm not sure about what this one is doing...Maybe it's just bypassing the disabled tank.



EDIT : it's just bypassing the other tank (just found another view showing it better)

M45 ?

That's M46, not M26.

H.P. thanks- these are great- some I have not seen. The use of tanks in this manner is interesting (am a former Arty guy) plus I think it will make in interesting diorama for the M26 I have on my shelf-but that needs a home.

Cheers,
Bret
