In a brief address, Kevin Wheatcroft took time to thank all the people who have led the project to this point. It’s all in a days work.The facility is an amazing place with many future projects under wraps. Great efforts have been made to track down original manufacturers to see whether they could produce components or have details on the originals. The village of Houffalize is paying the costs because it's "their" tank. After restauration it will be put on display again in Houffalize. The amount of work needed to rebuild it, which entailed restoring original parts and manufacturing new components is quite amazing.

Don't think they are going to keep it (but there is Always a possibility) Let’s not be too lofty about it – we are enthusiasts and we had a good crack, but it was a very serious occasion at a crucial point in a project which has taken so much commitment from the restoration team. You could not get a greater contrast with the war machine we saw the next day.We took the opportunity to have a close look at the progress of the restoration project and, as you can see from the images, things are progressing beautifully after many years of dedicated hard work by the restoration team. There are literally piles of components from wheels to tracks and big bits of metal stacked here and there, giving some of the place the feel of an ever so slightly surreal garden centre. You really do wonder how they fitted all the essentials in.
