The weather was great, thanks Dave... cloudy but dry and cool enough for young and old alike to avoid overheating. I have to say that I was amazed - it looked like the whole damned town was out in the streets for this! Talk about revitalising my faith in the people of this country - I've been living in Toronto too damned long now...

We had three carriers out, Stewart's T-16, Jordan's Mk.1* and Charlie Fitton's Mk.2*, and in addition one Willys MB (Jordan's) and one Ford GPW as well as two Iltis's. Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of veterans out for this, but the carriers carried a couple; all of our vehicles followed the regimental pipe band and received a tremendous reception by the public... particularly entertaining for the crowd was when Charlie shut off his carrier and had his HLI troops rig a tow chain from the T-16 within a couple of minutes - you'd almost think he broke down or something...

Anyway, situation retrieved with due honour and appreciation and we carried on to the end!

Pics will follow shortly. It was a damned good run!

Kudos to those who participated... we will attend again.
