Now hear this!

Work continues here at WW2 Armor on our February 1943 built M10 Gun Motor Carriage (GMC) used by the U.S. Tank Destroyer Forces during World War II.

Over the last year we re-configured it back to its original World War II configuration as it was heavily modified by the Israelis in the late 1950s as part of their M50 Program. As part of the program, the Israelis made numerous modifications and changes to the layout of the hull, gun, and turret which required extensive work to bring it back to its original World War II build. There are some bits on the hull from the Israeli experimental program we have opted to retain, but for the most part it's back to its original design.

This week, our team installed the M10’s fuel and oil tanks, and began the electrical wiring for the vehicle electrical systems. The M10 had the fuel capacity of 165 gallons (620 liters) with an operational range of approximately 200 miles (320 kilometers). Yesterday, we installed a General Motors 6046 twin diesel engine after an extensive overhaul and services by our maintenance department. (the engine this particular piece came with) The 6046 twin diesel was capable of producing 375 horsepower at 2,100 rpms, and enabled the M10 to have a max speed of between 25 to 30 miles per hour (40 to 48 kilometers per hour).

Once installed, our team then carefully and safely installed the M10’s turret and Mount M5 with the 3-inch gun M7 into the hull. It was a moment our team has been waiting for as there is something truly unique about the M10’s appearance. Even though it may look complete there is still much more work to be done, and we will keep you all posted as we progress.
If you are interested in reading our research article published in July 2021 on the history of our M10 GMC we invite you to read it at this URL:

From our team here at WW2 Armor, we wish you all a wonderful weekend!

That is all.

Poignant morning service remembering those killed 80 yrs ago today when B-17 42-5793 crashed at Brome, Suffolk - tragically killing the crew, 4 civilians & a horse. A memorial was unveiled today in the presence of relatives; and the Suffolk Punch Horse was a beautiful touch 🇺🇸🇬🇧

I did a mission with the 5th Royal Engineers in Afghanistan fall 2010. We breached into Sangsar, the birthplace of the Taliban and we were the first coalition forces to ever get in there. We lost a friend on the mission He stepped on an ied. Only 19 years old. Steven Dupont 3/2 Strykers. The brits were great to work with. They were always quick to crack a joke during the toughest times. They even took turns while were getting ambushed to try and get shot on their ballistic vests. Crazy gents!
