Ed that is an early prototype as the frame rises alongside the body tub and lacks any lifting or tie down points in the corners.
Terry, I am for my sins a member of the FB RCEME group and reached out there and got a stellar set of replies and have spoke to the manufacturer Stanley Vidmar / Tresk and am awaiting an email on price and availability.

I was going to suggest Vidmar, but have had occasion here of being corrected, so I wanted to wait.

Robin,
I have stumbled across this link: http://onf-nfb.gc.ca/en/our-collecti...cles&pagenav=1 It appears that the National Film Board produced at least 2 and possibly 4 films on the RAT with the longest run-time listed as 30 min. I have not explored this far enough to determine how you could obtain a copy of these films. Colin

Colin,
Absolutely brilliant, thank you. I have joined the NFB.ca site and when their confirmation email lands in I will login and try to watch some of those. Failing that I will make alternate enquiries. Thank you, once again.

For an extremely detailed historical look at CF operations in the ARctic
"Canadian Arctic Operations -1941-2015 : Lessons Learned. Lost, Relearned" https://www.unb.ca/fredericton/arts/...ticOps2017.pdf pg 57 shows an armoured snowmo (have none survived?) and what may be RATs in b/g pg 123 has one of the later evolutions of the armoured snowmo..with the closed cab Penguin Here's anothe ARctic link with an unfortunate Penguin. One of these was featured in an old Convoy magazine at an auction in Alberta or Manitoba (?) Anyone know what happened to it? https://uphere.ca/articles/long-way-home-0

Thank you for that Marc, just a very useful read in general aside from own personal interest.
