33 ton Spitfire
« on: December 03, 2024, 07:30:23 AM »
This Sherman Firefly named "Spitfire" belonged to the East Riding Yeomanry Regiment. This regiment came ashore at Sword Beach on D Day as part of the 27th Armoured Brigade and fought through France and Germany until VE Day. The large outlined turret numbers were common to all three of the 27th AB's tank regiments, although each used a different central colour.
