If I knew you were coming to Calgary earlier, I would have probably taken a wee trip there and had that beer and done the tour with you. IF...you get a eeny teeny weeny bit of time, stop into CROWN SURPLUS (Gordon Cummings), about 5 to 10 minutes out of the downtown core and check out some of the "backroom stuff"....Bofors, CMP'S Ferrets etc etc. I used to buy WW11 camo nets off him for almost next to nothing compared to today's prices. AND that's if you can find them!!! (I'm dating myself!)
The odd thing Hanno was....Gordon had a museum in the back with 5 or 6 military tanks and/or vehicles way before any of the other museums got even close to thinking about a museum. One of them was a Churchill Tank, which he eventually sold and the "Museum of the Regiments" had to buy one from the UK and have it shipped over here for display.
AND pray tell....what are you doing in Calgary work wise? Do let us all know.....Robert
