The Overloon Panther

There is a WWII museum in Holland in a town called Overloon, to commemorate some heavy fighting that went on there. I went there first in 1974 when I was 12. My parents took me and my best friend there after my unrelenting demands. Outside in their walk-through park was this Panther. My friend and I were photographed on it by my mother:



I had occasion to go back to Holland in 2001 and made it a point to return to Overloon. I found it little changed, but still well worth seeing. I didn't see the Panther outside, but when I inquired in the museum, I found it was currently under restoration; apparently slowly for lack of funds.

The gun and mantlet along with the roadwheels in the background. One of the exhaust pipes is leaning on the top of the mantlet:



The hull:



Random couple of cuties I saw on my last walk through the downtown area:
