Wow, what a lethal machine, I wonder how successful it was in combat?. I have an original canvas shroud for the flamethrower.

Nice bit of film.
I think this is the mixture used for public display - impressive, none the less..

Have not seen that one before, but there is another one out there of WASP's being used in the 1950's in Toronto to clear underbrush along the Don River Valley, if I recall.

Here is some colour film footage from the RHLI Museum archives. It is from the early 1950's at Camp Niagara.

Mechanized Flame Throwers
The Canadian Army Overseas did a lot of the work when it came to developing the tactical doctrine for the use of flame carriers, not to mention much of the RandD that led to the Wasp. After the War further work was carried out at Suffield which led to the Iroquois and Cree Carriers.
It's all in Service Publications' WoW 22 Mechanized Flame Weapons in Canadian Service.
