Need to know......

[Bob Carriere]

I am trying to recall the exact date fo an event that was held in Ottawa....... I beleive it to be 1996 for the 5oth of D-Day.....

The Landsdown park was used as a staging area for the military vehicles....... the CWM had a red Ford 6x6 civvy on display... all near and around the Cow Palace.......

Reason for asking..... I beleive that there was a huge large radar trailer on display with some older gentlemen (probably retired) former employees of National Research Council explaining the display .... possibly had been involved with the actual design......

Seem to recall that it may have been on loan from the Science and Tech Museum for the day.......

That event was critical in triggiring my interest in restoring my Cab 11 and tracking exact information from someone who may also have been there may help us track and preserve a piece of history before it is sold at $200 a pound for scrap aluminium...

Any recollections of the event and trailer????
