Hi Alex
Many thanks for posting the link to the Canadian Army Newsreels series on YouTube. Started off jumping around looking at them then decided start at the beginning and work my way through. Watching them in order makes more sense of the history behind what is being shown. It is interesting to watch how the production values and scripting of the films evolves over time. Any one wanting to find an authentic vehicle number for a particular vehicle which is lacking such history the Newsreels offer a good chance to find a number that would be correct for a particular type of MV. The episodes listed on Youtube come from two sources with many having both but sometimes only one source posted a particular episode. Youtube search of "Canadian Army Newsreels" seems to find all of them. Again thanks Alex for point us to these. Cheers Phil
