Stuarts in river
I guess I should read more. Peter Simundson, in an earlier post, said there were 8 Stuarts at Levy' s , and 3 partial ones out of that were recovered. That leaves 5 unaccounted for in that area

The Stuart is no longer is Markus' hands as far as I know. Apparently sold off to a collector somewhere.

Stuart
I was watching TV last evening. Alby Mangels is back .. with a new series . But still with the young chick and dog and boats and aeroplanes .... the same formula from the 1970's .
He was in New Guinea in last nights show looking for WW2 relics and he found a Stuart tank , basically complete but very rusty . The scene where he finds the tank is all set up, or faked . Its probably been well known for years but he made out that he discovered it ! Mike PS for our O/S members , Alby Mangels is a modern day Indianna Jones character , he must be in his 60's by now . He makes ridiculous doco / drama movies and sells them to TV stations ...

WWII aemour in Canada
I think there were a few other Stuarts in Canada, as I remember a collector friend telling me about a cut down M5A1 which was north of Ottawa. I went to see about it, but was about 5 years too late , as the local scrap yard guy remembered it, " a fairly big tracked chassis with Cadillac engines in it" . Someone had tried to use it as a bulldozer and eventually sold it. I don' t know where it went, but i seem to remember reading about someone in New Brunswick who bought a chassis like that in Ontario, maybe the same. So, I think a couple of Stuarts were sold surplus in the 50' s. I know that there were Staghounds sold in St. Hyacinthe at a surplus dealer there, and there was a turret-less Daimler armoured car ( big one) which was being used as a snow plow by the city of St. Hubert in the 50's . Would be nice to know where that is now. Bill Gregg had a couple of Staghounds ( hulls, etc) from St. Hyacinthe and also the rare Crusader turret for the Staghound late model also came from there. There was a cut down Staghound chassis in Drummondville but it has finally been sold in England and is being restored. There is also one more really nice Staghound still around Montreal but the location is unknown to me. Maybe it will surface in the next few years.

Hi
Wow!! Old thread. From the 2003 posts; I recall unloading that Stuart in Calgary down at the LdSH lines with Jim R. and Kevin T. As none of us really knew how to start and or drive it, it sticks in my memory!!  I've not heard of any Stuart around these parts. Jason? regards Darrell

Stuart chassis
I also rememeber a collector friend I knew telling me that some Stuart' s sold were cut down and use as a base for rock drilling machines. There were at least one or two around Ottawa, but this is along time ago, 50's or 60's, so it would be lucky if they are still around. I remember, too, seeing an M3, or M3A1 chassis being used as the base for a crane in a small boatyard on the coast of Massachusetts or Maine, maybe 20 years ago. I guess some were sold as surplus here, but the best, most complete ones were the ex Portugese M5A1's , sold from Southeastern Equipment
