Default Coe Hill photos

It would seem that my grandson is a bit of a ham--note the popgun in his right hand.The Coe Hill event was covered by the newspaper "This Week" which printed the latter photo on its front page ,but also by the "Bancroft Times"whose reporter,Barry Hendry took the first two photos which Alex has posted as published.The Bancroft Times also generously provided me,on CD with all of the 42 photos taken at the Coe Hill event for use in promoting our activities.This was also covered by CHEX television Peterboro which did a news item that evening.For more good photos see the new OMVA website.This annual event is getting bigger and better every year and is well supported by the people of Coe Hill.Dan McCaw and all his helpers may well be proud.--Greg

Default Carrier

The carrier was built as a MORTAR CARRIER not a bren carrier-the mortar bipod and barrel are on the back--the holes in the armour for bren mounts, flare launcher,antenna base,etc. were riveted closed at the factory --Greg
