Looking forward to seeing the wee beasties side by each! Mike

Gunner,

Good to hear from you. I suspect you have been prowling the local area for rusted steel hulks (and, one might presume, doing the MTAP thing). When is your RTU in Canada?

I bought the prototype for the express purpose of having two restored (eventually) "bookend" HUPs. One pre-production prototype and one of the last girls from the one of the last production runs.

The long term plan includes acquisition and restoration of a 42, 43, and 44 HUP. Shhhh! Don't tell the wife! But if you do, we will serve goat for your dinner in your honour...
