armoured snowmobile
So an update- my memory fails again- I have checked my photos-
the armoured snowmobiles converted by Ottawa Car and Aircraft probably only number 11 or so.They are the three front window version used in the north in Operation Muskox. My photos show as many as 6 vehicles lined up on the factory floor being converted to closed cab style. One view shows 2 machines in a front 3/4 view and written on the fender in what looks like grease pencil/marker are the number 10 and on a second 8 and the third maybe 1 or 11. One photo of a completed vehicle has the number 76-749 stenciled on the front fender. One of the photos has written on the back..." Ottawa 1946, Musk-ox Experimental vehicles for arctic, Ottawa Car and Aircraft" These photos came from the estate of my Father in Law who was employed there for a few years after the war. By the way we are running two parallel threads here, maybe Hanno can merge them together?? BP
