Voici, photographiées par Guy Péremans, vice président COBRA et membre du CRIBA, les phases principales de l'enlêvement du char de la Place McAuliffe à Bastogne, le lundi 6 novembre 2006. Le char a été emmené à l'Arsenal de Rocourt (près de Liège) où il sera lavé, décapé, poncé, sablé et repeint. Il sera aussi remis en état (roues, chenilles, tourelle, mitrailleuse,...). Son retour est prévu pour avril ou mai 2007. Les Bastognards l'attendent déjà avec impatience.
