RCA Shilo 2013 on parade

HI Rob

Is it safe to assume that you guys have liberated/acquired the last Ford pilot from Reynolds and are now working on it.... ?

Nope, we have the one that came from Bill Gregg's collection. I believe it was found in Saskatchewan or Alberta decades ago. No idea if the Reynolds one has gone anywhere. I wouldn't mind seeing it myself to determine what is correct or not with ours. Hopefully I will be up that way later this summer.

and Dirk. Looks like a lot of fun and hard work. When I get out of the golf business I hope to help you out in this event. Cheers Rob Fast

Thanks Rob, and you are welcome out anytime. I hope it rains cats and dogs in Steinbach mid July so you can come to the Prairie Command Shilo tour and campout.

Rob,
great to see the photos of the parade in Brandon. I was supposed to be there with the pipe band but didn't make it. Just trying to get my M37 ready for the parade in Prince Albert at the end of the month but it won't stop raining and I don't have room in my garage to work on the old beast. So I see you'll be in Austin next year. I have been asked to attend as well. It'll be a long treck with pulling the camper and the M37 with two trucks. Just told the wife she will have to learn to drive pulling something..hahaha.
Just found a site in the Minnesota selling canvas. Prices seem reasonable. "New Life Canvass". I still have to get bow corners, tire carrier, but need to get 3rd gear working and the brakes working again. This is all for the 54 (Wainwright truck). My Shilo truck will be a ways down the road as I had to pull all the wiring apart due to numerous John Deere parts added to the truck by the previous owner, and changed to 12 volt. I would love to have to have them both ready for Austin but would need and extra truck and trailer to pull it...and driver. Possibly I could get a neighbour in town involved. He is ex RCR and REME. take care all Ewen
