I know how you feel. Maybe next time Perry comes up I can be here for more of the fun. I had to leave to pick up # 3 son from the railway station.

P.S.
What's for Christmas dinner, a bowl of salad and a glass of water?

Andy,
Yes the 73mm gun is deactivated, but did not need to be to come into the country. FA issued a import permit with the gun listed seperately, imported as a non restricted firearm. Just had to forward a copy of my PAL to Ottawa to finish the import paperwork. The European countries is was transported through required the gun to be deactivated. I do have power turret traverse, but have not yet figured out the power elevation ( I have it powered up, but can not figure out how to retract the travel lock ). Intercom, IR, and gunners sight all work beautifully.

Page 56 of the Tuesday 27 Dec 2011 edition shows one of these vehicles (or a variant) in the Syrian city of Homs.

Default Some fun with Perry's BMP

A few MLUers and like minded folks had a chance to see and enjoy Perry's BMP over the weekend thanks to Perry and Gord Yeo's hospitality. The Petrolia crew came up along with Stewart Loy, Tim G and myself. We had a chance for a little joyride with Perry and see Gord's great workmanship on a variety of Iltii, jeeps etc and a nice lunch with old friends...what better way to spend a Saturday. Thanks Perry and Gord.
