Science and Tech......
Hi Jason
In the late 70s the Museum of S&T had two Saracen...... one was very complete including the inside.... the second one had both centre wheels removed and was mostly stripped on the inside...... they also had the Badeck speed boat sitting there also........ the one with the outside water wings.... whatever they are called..... although they were removed for shipping they were stacked up next to the boat...... security was not serious in those days and you could easily crawl in on early Sunday mornings..... never managed to crawl up the boat as it was rather high in wooden supports and no ladder to climb....but did crawl into the Saracen....... we were hoping to get the RR 6 cyl. engine for the Dodge M37.....
Story had it that they sat idle in the back section of the NRC Montreal Campus for years......
