As part of our cooperation agreement with the South African Armour Museum we recently received two new display vehicles for our collection, a Comet Tank and a PT-76 Amphibious Tank.

Sandstone’s close relationship with the  SA Armour Museum goes back 22 years to January 2003 when this partnership was formalised. Brigadier General Andre Retief (Ret), then Officer Commanding of the School of Armour, was the driving force behind this partnership which has flourished to this day.

The pride that we have in our Oxen at Sandstone is well known and we have drawn together a gallery of some of our “Elder Statesman”. As you can see, many are 9 years old with the eldest, Staline, at 10 years old.

Although the use of steam powered machinery is limited worldwide, there is still a great deal of use of such machinery, either mobile or static, in the Heritage arena.
