Hello,

Last Saturday, I was at the Saumur tank museum and I took a lot of pictures. Amongst them, some of the FT17 actually displayed. I took a lot of pictures of the tracks, with measurements. I don't remember who ask for the tracks dimension, let me know. I think I have something close to complete.
I also visited the restoration area !!!
They have 2 FT17, including one of those found in Afghanistan. As it was in bad shape and modified but with not so used mechanical elements, it will be used to rebuild the other one. I took a lot of pictures that I will send to Peter.
They also plan to finish the FT17 radio.

They have an old Schneider 155 CS (I guess) with tires, but the gun itself is dated 1917.
They displayed a 75mm Schneider mountain gun from 1919.

This weekend, they also displayed WW2 tank running, impressive.

All the best
