| These pictures were taken in the Summer of 2001 of the JagdPanther in the Imperial War Museum in London. It looks like it has suffered some battle damage, but has been repaired because one shell hole would have destroyed the radiators which are intact! Looking down from above it seems that the right hand fan casting on the engine deck is of a poorer quality, was it made after the vehicle was knocked out? I wonder if it was repaired by the allied forces and used for some sort of trials, does anybody know? Please E-Mail me and I'll acknowledge any input, meanwhile have a look at the pictures. | ||||
