WW2 Tank Optics - Near Cold Lake

[maple_leaf_eh]

Speaking to the comment about Shermans on the Primrose Lake Air Weapons Range (also called Cold Lake Air Weapons Range), the answer is probably not any more. The stories are told that yes Shermans and trucks were driven and towed out into the impact areas as hard targets. Yes, the Strathconas recovered their Catherine from Cold Lake. But, that patch of sweet bugger all forest and muskeg is as hard to drive out of, as it is to drive into. There are roads that service the large numbers of target sites, and more than a few observation and telemetry installation. However, in the summer the roads are not very strong (no real need) and in winter they aren't well maintained.
