RCEME 70th anniversary (May 2014)

[maple_leaf_eh]

I was recently contacted by a serving RCEME maintainer asking about MV collectors in our area. I responded with a short list of the owners I could remember, but added two cautions.

First I reminded him that all historic vehicles need repairs and maintenance. Access to parts bins, labour or scrapped vehicles might smooth the wrinkles for owners to put their vehicles on the road. Secondly, I stated the obvious, that these things burn gas, diesel and oil. If the committee wanted to see old green trucks, they'd better put some gas money in the budget. Another wrinkle that just comes to mind is insurance for events.

I have no idea what their plans include. When I talk to this fellow again, what issues should I raise?
