Bethune, France 2002.

August 30th.-September 2nd. saw Class II and the Maintenance Depot Ltd. get together with the Wheatcroft Collection, to tour the Bethune area in France for the Liberation celebrations of the Artois region. We managed to get some 85 miles of roading done in the Sherman !  Guaranteed to loosen any filling, I can tell you !!!!!!

The Sherman prior to loading onto the ferry at Dover, and cruising in France.

Corners were taken at speed !    and smoke screens were left across the country.
