Volunteers spend five days digging out perfectly-preserved WW2 amphibious vehicle

Advertisement A Second World War amphibious vehicle that was buried 30 feet beneath the Cambridgeshire Fens has been excavated by a team of volunteers. The 26ft-long LVT-4 tank, which was one of 16 brought in to act as a flood defence in the village of Crowland, during the 1947 floods, was uncovered by residents who spent five days digging the lands beneath the Cambridgeshire Fens. The Buffalo military tank, which weighs 20 tons, had been underground for 74 years but appears to be well-preserved because it was buried in a mixture of peat and clay. Daniel Abbott, chairman of Crowland Buffalo LVT, said his team had to carry out a lot of digging by hand as well as using a machine from the North Level Drainage Board in order to uncover the vehicle.
