Once we knew we had found the driver's compartment, we worked to the forward armour in front of his position to see if we could locate the instrument panel. This we did, along with exposing some of the right side track sponson. The instrument panel had been torn loose when the carriers were backfilled into their trench back in the 50's with tons of rubble. There trip here had been a short drive down the road from a local surplus dealer. The carrier's had all come from Lloydminster a few years prior to that.
