The only way I could contact you, ref Theddlethorp tank, it was driven down there in 1958 according to Eric Emmerson who owened the Bluebell garage, in 1967 everything still worked, the haches opened the turret moved with ease and the gun went up and down! over the years however the salt took its revenge and it started to rust up, but real damage was done with flame cutters, the turret went first and lots more followed, I would say the early 80's around 1982, I was gutted having grown up with it, they should have left it alone, as it now just a shadow of its former self!!!
