Mk IV Female Sponson Being Removed at AWM.
Permalink   

Five-minute video of female sponson being removed from 4543 Grit at the Australian War Memorial in 2008 - for the first time since 1918. Includes lots of interior shots.

I never knew that the female sponson could be folded into the hull.

As usual, sorry if we've had this before.

That's a great little video by the AWM. Peter spotted it last time he surfaced and linked it into the walkround page

And i noticed that AWM and many other museums have made large amounts of their collections of photos available on flickr.
