On one of the logging programmes on Quest they appear to be using an old Sherman still as a winch tower .

Correct on both accounts Paul the Centurion chassis is highly modified but the two green Stuart chassis are bog standard. :thumbup:

I guess the only pictures of the Onions conversions must be in that book, the scraper is semi mounted onto the back of the tank.

The other conversion is the Crawford conversion that was used for ploughing!
