I visited the Duxford Imperial War Museum at the weekend as its just an hours drive from me . And I was surprised to see the Jagdpanther from the Imperial War Museum (London) there .Ive not been for a few years . I went for a day out with my son but also to photograph the Goliath Sdkfz302 for a little project Im thinking on . Im actually going back this coming Sunday as I have been given permission to measure up the Goliath , supervised
shame I cant measure up the Jagdpanther he he.

The Jag has been shifted while they rebuild the Lambeth (London) museum. Duxford has a wonderful selection of MVs - not just planes. A good day to visit is the Military Vehicle show in June on Father's Day. I take my boys there every year.

The Jag also has authentic battle damage - not the viewing hole cut in the side! There are several AP penetrations on the other side and you can see where the rounds bounced around inside. Nasty...
