INTRODUCTION
Introduction & Purpose
The Belgium Historical AFV Register is intended to provide a cataloging of all of the historical
Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFV), including tanks, APCs and self-propelled artillery, etc that
are on preserved or otherwise displayed in museums or as monuments in Belgium. 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 Delsings
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
michel@afvregister.org or simply post to the AFV News Discussion Board.
