Good day
First time I saw the Staghound in Petawawa, was sitting in the back compound on a trailer around September last year after it arrived from Bordon. The staghound sat on the trailer until it was shipped to Ottawa in feburary. When I volunteered my time to help get the staghound running, I was able to speak to the RCD's RSM. I was told the Staghound is on loan to them from the Borden museum to use in parades and such, as long as they got the vehicle into running order. Either the Regiment didn't have many volunteers or they didn't have the money for a resto I never heard back on the subject. From what I see in the pictures the Stag hasn't been restored much other then getting it to move, stop, tires and marking. But getting both the engines, transmissions, and transfer case serviceable in a short time, well done.

Hi
Yes, the RCD Vehicle Restoration efforts are all Voluntary and Operational Commitments come first. The NCO that was heading up the Staghound, Frank L., is deploying as a Tank commander to Afghanistan soon. Money isn't a problem as the Guild underwrites many costs. When I headed up the first version of the RCD Rest Tm, we also sought sponsorship from local shops etc. That's how we got brake lines, upholstery, mirrors and tire balancing done on our Ferret. Unfortunately, our Operational Tempo required the then CO and RSM to close up the Team for a while. At least the Regt has tried to re-start it in some capacity. Oh, and to re-align this thread with the M-8, I see one here in the background:  http://www.dragoons.ca/125parademedia.html regards Darrell

M8 RCD use 19 sets?
Did the M8s that the RCD used near the end of the war use 19 sets?

From what I understand, they should have been re fitted with the 19 set after taken into service. One of the photos above shows a commander and it looks like a 19 set type headset and hand mic.
