Base Borden Military Museum Grand Re-Opening

[Jon Skagfeld]

Reliable source tells me that the BBMM is to have an opening ceremony this Sat, 9 Jun 07.

Reliable source is ex Base CWO who, he claims, was instrumental in the provisioning of new Museum building as well as the placement of the various (mostly) Armour vehs around the Base. All the rare, soft-skinned vehs are inside. FF Worthington's tomb has been done over to a more presentable image.

Might be worth a flip for MLUers in the GTA to wander on up.

Jon,

Do you know if the Ford F60L workshop is still there? I am looking for some pictures of that one, both from the equipment in the rear as well as some overall pictures. I have found some on Keith's site, but they seem scarce. Just a note that the truck is still there, should allready narrow my search.

Alex, of which workshop lorry do you need pictures?

[Alex van de Wetering]

Clive,

The one in the Borden museum is the F60L "Mach M1 MK11" type. That one certainly has my interest, but I am also after pictures of the equipment and machinery on board as I guess this was also used in other Machinery/workshop bodies.
