Gate guards/carriers on pedestals

universalgrl · #1 30-09-11, 17:23

Has any one created a list of carriers on pedestals or sitting in front of legions or in museums.
I know of 2 sitting outside one in front of the legion in Grimshaw west of Peace River, one sitting inside of the fort in Quebec city.
One sitting in the museum in the Vandalman armouries in Victoria.
One sitting in the museum at the old engineer base in Chilliwack.
And of course the carrier in the war museum in Ottawa.

I donated one years ago to Moose Jaw Armouries for their out door display. No engine in it, but rather a bunch of sandbags to get the ass end down. Mickey Zwack donated on to the museum of regiments in Calgary a few years before that....have not been there in a decade or so to see if it still exists there.

Rob,
Wasn't there a carrier in Thunder bay near the armouries on display outdoors when we were there years ago?

The Military Museum in Thunder Bay has a operational carrier and there is a carrier at Hillcrest Park over looking the city. The one at Hillcrest Park is a monument to The Lake Superior Regiment (Motor). It is a very nice display.

Pretty sure I saw one at the Citadel in Montreal a couple years ago as well.

There's a T-16 sitting in a container on the same block as MIL arm in Edmonton. It was offered to me for $25K but I was on my to Afganistan and I was fresh out of 25k notes.

You're implying that if you were on your way back from Afghanistan then you would have a pocketful of 25k notes?

universalgrl · #11 01-10-11, 18:24

Yah I was going to, not coming back. The same person that showed me the T-16 also had a line on a lifeboy flamethrower that maybe was for sale in Calgary.
I also talked to a guy at the Reading D Day show in Pennsylvania 2009 about 6 carriers that were buried on the university of Calgary grounds, 3 had been pulled out and 3 still to be recovered.

No money, everything for sale!
Money, nothing for sale!

There is one on the base in Edmonton as well and I believe it still runs and drives.

Hans Mulder · #14 06-10-11, 19:50

The one at the Chilliwack museum isn't a monument...it is privately owned and runs and drives.

2VP had one parked outside their main building here in Shilo, but it has moved in the last year. Not sure if it is inside being worked on. They used to use it for the odd parade. I have driven it a time or two myself, including taking it off the truck when it returned from Germany back in 88.
