I sat in it
In 1994 I sat in the hull. It is not on the Main Ranges, it is to the west of the old M72 range, in the wood line east of the Bowl, just north of the range road about 400m. The tank is/was on the South side of the trees, facing the road.
It was a complete hull, drivers seat and controls still in it. No turret. No motor, but access doors still on.
At the time I found it, I was the OC of a cougar sqn and pulled up beside it to give some quick attack orders. I had been beside it and in it several times.
Geoff came up one time, and we tried to find it in an ILTIS, but the thing does not do X country and I could not get my hands on a carrier.
I have heard rumour that it was pulled out by Range control and place on the range, but I have not been back to Meaford since 98.
