    Another big cat.

    This was alongside the trio of the Tiger 1 & Panther at the Arms & Armor Museum in Qld.

    Followed the progress of them refurbing it as a static display only and it will probably not be a runner given the difficulties of spare parts as only 400 were ever built.
    The bits were discovered at a construction site in Germanyicon some of the major panels that had never been assembled.

    Fact;
    In July '44 a troop of I think Sherwood Forrester's Churchills had parked up for whatever reason and unknown to them 3 Jagdpanthers were about to descend on them.
    The Jagdpanther was unknown to the allies so a bit of confusion but the lethality of them was soon to be dished out.
    From memory in the space of 3 minutes they knocked out 11 Churchill's including the troop commanders tank who's turret was blown off.
    The 3 Jagdpanthers retreated 2 were recovered as they suffered track damage from the Churchills, one was blown up by the crew the other was intact so a boon for the allies.
