Hope the guys got some good $$ for taking part in the nonsense.
This one's an M4A2E8 with 76mm gun, the only type which saw service in Canada. In Korea, our guys had the 'A3E8 because they swiped them from the Yanks, but they didn't come back to Canada, though.

I can't remember BART's build date, but another friend has an 'A2E8 which was built in August '45, also still running.

Yeah, imagine soiling the inside of a perfectly good tank with [shiver] rock musicians...
