As such the registry ranges from the World War I-era Renault FT-17 to modern Leopard tanks. However, the registry is not intended to include modern AFVs that are still in service. Format The Belgium Historical AFV Register is organized by province and city or town as follows. PROVINCE CITY OR TOWN AFV Model Man./User status Notes and/or location Man./User donotes the original manufacturer (country) and various users, using three letter country codes. Status is denoted by one of the following codes. ind = indoor display out = outdoor display std = stored (this can be either indoor our outdoor storage, but clearly not on display) wre = wreck (typically vehicles recovered from a target range or simply in very bad condition) dep = departed Additional information about a particular vehicle is often included in footnotes. Often, if there are a large number of AFVs on display in a particular town or military post, sublistings are also provided, organized by location - museum, building, road, etc. Sources The Belgium Historical AFV Register is compiled from a number of sources. Firstly, the register is an expansion of Michel van Loon's own list of Shermans in Belgium and Lesley Delsing’s wrecks and relics in Europe. Some of the other notable online sources include the former Tanks for the Memories geocaching site, The Sherman Register, Wereld in oorlog as well as forums and message groups such as the AFV News Discussion Board and G104 (the Sherman Register mailing list). A large number of individual contributors, many of which are credited throughout the registry, have provided invaluable information. All the AFVs can be found on The AFV Register, with more info and pictures If you have any comments or corrections, please send them to Michel van Loon at [email protected] or simply post to the AFV News Discussion Board.
