Achilles 17pdr SP - Walkaround - Arlon.
Originally uploaded on 5 jan. 2016.
The 17pdr SP Achilles was a British variant of the American M10 tank destroyer during WW2,
The M10 was armed with the 3-inch (76.2 mm) M7 gun on a modified Sherman tank chassis.
The 17 pdr SP Achilles was basically a modified M10, with the Ordnance QF 17 pounder, a substantially more powerful gun than the 3 in M7 mounted on the standard M10.
The Achilles proved to be an excellent tank destroyer, but the open-topped turret left the crew vulnerable and a lot of crews were lost because of artillery fire, on the other hand the open-topped turret gave excellent visibility which was valuable to a tank destroyer and it also improved reload speed.
A total of 1,100 M10s were converted to Achilles, making it the second most numerous armoured fighting vehicle to carry the 17 pounder gun, behind the Sherman Firefly.
It would see use after the war with countries like Belgium.
The Achilles here at Arlon doesn't have any historical information,
It has Serial Number 7420, and was built by Fisher in October, 1943.
The vehicle seems to have battle damaged on the back of the hull and the engine compartment seems to be destroyed.
The Achilles has been moved in 2021 for restoration and will probably be moved to the Patton Monument in Arlon.
