Preserved Stuart tanks in Canada ?

[Bob Cohoon]

Markus Schneider bought the M5A1 hull and turret last year, and he is working on it now and gathering parts for it. You can see it at his website " Wiliy`s Acres" on the internet. The other turret and engine cover went to a collector in Washington state a few years back. I am sure Markus will do a nice job on it, he is very capable of even fabricating missing parts. The Canadian War Museum in Ottawa has a restored M5A1 on display which I think they traded from the Littlefield collection in California.I heard of another M5A1 up near Sept Iles, Quebec, but I never heard too much about that one.It was supposedly bought from Southeastern Equipment in Georgia back when they were selling some from Portugal. I heard that hurricane Hazel washed some tanks into the river behind where Levy Auto Parts was on Black Creek Drive, but i thought they were Shermans.Maybe there was a Stuart or 2 in that, and they`re probably still in the river. One of the big companies that bought stuff from Levy`s was Tekmotiv, and they had an M41 that they were using as a yard tractor, wonder where that is now?
