Default RCA Museum Shilo 2013 on parade

If you click the link below you can see tha thread from last year when the RCA museum provided 8 vehicles into the Brandon parade.

The base commander liked what he saw, and directed that more vehicles be made ready for this year's parade. So this year we managed to provide a total of 11 vehicles, a limber and 2 guns. The whole day was uneventful with no breakdowns or problems.

The lineup included: M38A1Cdn3 ceremonial and vice regal Jeep, M38A1Cdn2 in MP configuration, Ilits (new for this year), M37Cdn (new for this year with fresh sandblast and paint), M133 w/w towing C1 howitzer, AVGP, C15A cargo (fresh paint for the parade), C15TA (fresh tires from last year), Lynx scout car, White scout car, and a Chev FAT with limber and 25pdr.

The White had a few repairs in the last week or two, including the repair of a bent rear driveshaft, and the replacement of a loose pitman arm on the steering box. As well, the water pump had been successfully rebuilt from last year.

Big thanks to Derk who came out a few days early to help paint vehicles and transport them to and from the parade.

Here are some shots from the event:
