Sherman VC at Bovington

A while back I visited the Tank Museum at Bovington.

There was such a lot to see, that I neglected photographing a lot of things I really should have, and that have become important on projects.

One of them was the Sherman VC Firefly.

This is displayed as a tank of A Company/Squadron, 2nd Battalion, Grenadier Guards.
Of note is the presence of the spot light on the turret. Sherman V (M4A4) had the three part transmission cover,
Tools on the right rear of the deck.  Note the fixed metal scabbard for the blade. The rest of the tools are missing, as is the fire extinguisher.
Rear storage box and first aid kit.

There are some differences in appearance compared to the Sherman V at the IWM.
