    Hi , from your time in the IDF do you know anyone who was on M51 Shermans ? A friend has just got one and we are starting to restore it, we are familiar with US WW2 Shermans but lots in the turret is not the same and some stowage etc we have no idea what it was for . Thanks

    Sorry for the delay in replying. I once knew an old guy whose Sherman unit was a kind of model unit for the IDF when he served. I don't know if they had M51's. I shall try looking him up, in the unlikely event I find him I will convey your query and let you know if there's an answer (I don't think he speaks English).

    Hi thanks for your kind help so far.....we have stripped the Sherman now , turret is off , hull is empty , engine is out ..
    Long shot but do you know of anywhere we could get hold of the manuals for the M51 ? translation is not an issue....we have emailed the IDF Armoured Corps museum but no reply.
    Thanks
