Spotted, unusual WW2 tank North Bay

[Dave Thompson]

So I’m not on here much but Colin mentioned some traffic going on about our repatriation of the M14/41 Italian Tank from CFB Wainwright. And now your going ask who is this Dave guy. I’m currently working at the Borden Museum and am the Team Lead for the Flakpanzer & Jagdpanzer 38(t) Restorations Projects.
Anyways, Colin and myself off loaded it this morning with the help of the TLAV for a boost, certainly an experience driving it. A little hunched over in the drivers seat, man those guys must have been short. Turns on a dime on the concrete though, steel tracks will allow you to do that.
From what Colin and I have discussed and from the information currently on hand, everything indicates that both the M13/40 and the M14/41 the museum holds came out of North Africa. Will be doing further research and information gathering confirming what we already know. MTF.
As a running vehicle it will no longer be left outside to rot.
