The CWM had a perfect site on one of the main airfield entry lanes, but dropped their three vehicles without much for interpretive staff. But - give them credit for getting out of 1 Vimy Place.

The V100 was a real curiousity. "How much does it weigh?" Six and a half tons empty. "How thick is the armour?" Enough. And it will stop a .30 cal bullet. "Is this new?" Nope. Nineteen sixty nine. "Is this the new Canadian one?" No. This is the TAPV's great grand uncle. "Does it really go in the water?" Yes. Put in four plugs and it is supposed to float just about there ((pointing just below the midline of the armour )). "Can I get inside the tank?" I can lip read somewhat, and I saw a young woman say that. So I in my voice from on high, said, NO! This is an armoured car, not a tank!
