At the 2005 Military Odyssey show what is now the SdKfz Restoration Foundation unveiled their recently restored JagdPanther. I arrived with the UKTC South East Division's 7.5 Tonne Iveco tank transporter on the Friday and witnessed the unloading of the JP off it's low loader. I was amazed that it was so quiet but I guess anything would be quiet after the Bovington Tiger! That evening we had a good look around the JP and spoke to some of the guys that I'd seen three years ago when we visited their workshops. The JP took part in the WW2 re-enactments on all three days firing it's main gun (using 88mm blanks no less!) raising some smiles. We met up with the crew while driving Bryan the Bastard around and ended up chatting about all things JP for well over an hour. It seems that they have met everybody who's anybody in the armour restoration world with names like Jentz, Doyle, Wheatcroft, Littlefield and the like bandied around. They even went to the Aberdeen Proving Ground and got the JP opened up to look inside so that they could see what an (almost) original example looks like. They said it looked like a time capsule. On the Sunday evening we were invited to have a look inside so complete with parka, sunglasses and hat I had my picture taken in the commanders hatch looking for all the world like Hauptman Humpy!!! Below are some pictures from Garry Coomber, John Goodman and a couple of videos from Vince Abbot, thanks to all.
