Snowmobiles and Penguins

[Colin Macgregor Stevens]

An Exercise Musk Ox Penguin (converted from a Cdn Armoured Snowmobile) had survived (complete less one track) and went to the Bombardier Museum in Quebec. This was an epic voyage in winter from Churchill Manitoba, up North (as far as Cambridge Bay for 3 machines including #8, and then dolwn to Edmonton.

I later found out that a large "8" was found painted inside a roof hatch, which means that in all likelyhood that this was the # 8 machine on Exercise Musk Ox (only 15 machines were apaprently converted). This would have made it the machine commanded by Captain Bob Inglis - my late father-in-law!

Sadly the museum told me years later that they have scrapped it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps someone can confirm its fate?

If it survives, it SHOULD go to the Canadian War Museum.
