The Tank Museum, Bovington

The Cruiser tank Mk V or A13 Mk III Covenanter was a British cruiser tank of the Second World War. The Covenanter was the first cruiser tank design to be given a name. The tank equipped various British armoured divisions in the home defence and training roles. It never left the British Isles as poor engine cooling caused versions MkI-MkIII to be declared unfit for use overseas service especially in hot climates. This was rectified in the MkIV after many corrective actions were undertaken but by February 1944, it was declared obsolete. More than 1,700 of the type were built. This example is displayed in the markings it had during the War when it served with the 13th/18th Royal Hussars, part of the 9th Armoured Division. For reasons unknown, it was buried after the war on a farm near Dorking. In 1977 it was discovered, recovered, restored and put on display in 1985. (From Wiki)

No it's NOT Brad Pitt but a wax facsimile of him and his tank FURY, which is not a wax facsimile but the real thing. This is the actual tank used in the film FURY starring Brad Pitt (the real guy and not a wax facsimile!) as the tank commander. When I asked my son Ross if he was going to the cinema to see the film he said, "Naa, it's the wrong tank. It's too modern for a WWII film, it has the wrong gun, the wrong suspension and was built in the 1950's." The vehicle does belong to the Museum and several members of staff were used as extras as they accompanied the Museum's German Tiger I tank.

This is what a WWII era Sherman looks like, note the gun, the suspension and the shape and design of the hull and compare them to the other Sherman.
