The Sexton SP Gun in Canadian service
I would recommend our Sexton owners invest in the slim publication "The Sexton in Canadian Service" by Doug Knight (servicepub.com) and "Making Tracks, Tank Production in Canada" by Clive Law (author, editor, publisher, financier and gadfly owner of servicepub.com).
There is a sentence on the last page that reports 21 Sextons were offered to NATO and they ended up serving in Portugal until 1976. Was this a number the collective wisdom was looking for a while ago?

Terry; I have a picture of "part" of the lot of Sextons from Portugal at SECO. There are 24 in that partial picture. There must have been more. Jesse.

Gentlemen
If memory serves me, when I was dealing with a Byron Morris at SECO purchasing my Sexton, he told me they had brought back 40 Sextons in either '80 or '81. At that time, he said they were able to get a number of them running without much difficulty. Perry

The pictures I have, taken in 1983 show a lot full of nice looking Sextons. A far cry from what I got. Mine left their lot about 4 years ago. Most of the damage to mine was caused by sitting in their yard for 20+ years. That, and being pushed around by an obviously huge fork truck. Jesse.
