Hello Robin,

Apologies if I rained on your parade. I planned to search for the relevant thread, but could not find it, probably due to the secrecy around its location. Or it was so long ago it was discussed on the earlier version of this forum which is now locked on network54's servers somewhere.

Darrel was the only one making mention of the location, so I decided to quote you on here as I know many MLU members are interested in your endeavours to locate and recover it.

Please pick up the thread here and show us the pictures you have.

Thanks,
Hanno

I am sorry I didnt see this going on as Im sure I would have chimed in, Darrell is a good bloke so I would have helped him.

I will find the pictures again and post them, but not today

A "before" picture by Robin:

"I was there with Jason for one of the many visits I made over the years. Gord Pringle I believe found it during the Ice storm and it was top secret locally and many passed on getting it out over the years. I formulated my own plans to get it out but was pipped at the post by the Guild Of The RCD and a sizeable helping hand from a local contractor with heavy equipment. Here is a youthful Jason Ginn and I was the photographer."

Hi Terry

Different Stag. The runner the RCD have was from Borden via CWM. And yes, they've had engine troubles since day one but I understand that

The bog one? No idea what its up to. Operational Tempo shut down my recovery plans and then I was posted out. I never did return to Petawawa. A recent conversation with the Colonel of the Regiment suggests a new impetus in the RCD Historical Vehicle Troop. Plans to acquire a couple of WW2 Scout Cars are well along. Someone in the Ottawa area is selling (one of?) theirs?

Nice to see the Ferret there. Happy to have had a small part, long ago, in the restoration. Glad she still gets care and runs.

regards
Darrell
