    a capsized landing barge, one of those who neve rmade it. Let's hope they recover the tanks for restoration.

    They might actually be worth it Skip, of the 3 surviving Centaur Gun tanks I don't think there's a complete one, all have some sort of 'mock-up' aspect, though one in Devon in the UK has a correct turret waiting to be mounted. These one's aren't War Graves either, as it seems the crews all survived.
    There should be 2 Armoured Bulldozers down there too, as these were carried on the same landing craft.

    Cheers,
    Adam.
