Hi Wayne

In 2000, I think it was, there was a massive range clean up in the Petawawa Trg Area.

One of the items loaded onto the trucks and taken awat for scrap was, apparently, the roof for a Panther turret. Near Juliet (Hussar) Tower range, I think.

I got this info in 2001 from a Maj. in the RCD, who would know what he was talking about. He's a bit crazy for Panzers.

Maybe from the buried Farley Mowat Panzer collection that many are still looking for? A friend of mine went so far as to request an overflight from Aurora Maritime Patrol aircraft with it's Magnetic Anomoly Detector array. That request was denied.

He maintains he has the location down to a 6 km square but won't say where.

In 2004 I investigated, quite extensively, reports of a "Tiger" waaaaay out in a remote part of the Trg area but no luck.

regards
Darrell
