My posting never got posted
I had a reply that would have been #2. There is a Service Pubs book on the prewar tanks. I suggest the author would have the definitive sources. Secondly, the War Museum has a rebuilt Ford tank that passed through the gentle hands of MLU'er Don Dingwall at DEW Engineering.

I appreciate the replies, as usual I am about 30 years behind where I should be on my search but why let reality and common sense start getting in my way now! I have started conversing with Hayes and he has been most helpful, I have also reached out to Don and an awaiting a reply. I am realistic in my hope to find some bits and pieces here and there and generally see what is under some of the rocks around Borden and surrounding areas. I hope through the forum to spark any memories recent or otherwise to help me on the hunt so all stories, photos, video and anecdotes are greatly appreciated!

Rob, you have a pretty good relationship with Al Mc. Any chance he might have any bits and pieces tucked away out there among the treasures? I figure it is guys like him and his father before him that saw the value in this type of equipment long before the rest of us. I have seen some of the things he has parted with and can only imagine what is hidden away. And on another note, did he end up getting rid of the M4A2 turret and both guns? Rumor has it that they went to Alberta.
Thanks John

I am pretty positive there is nothing for the Renaults in Westbourne. Certainly no reason why there would be.
Turret and guns are paid for but not picked up yet. They will be heading West.

I know that 40 or so of the tanks ended up with the Fort Gary Horse so I was thinking there might be a carcass or two out that way

They went to the FGH in Camp Borden. Doubtful anyone would still use them, even for training, by the end of the war. Never heard of any making it to MB. FGH has a decent museum....contact Gord Crossley and see if he has any answers.
