Farley Mowat vehicle collection mystery

[Guy Grenadier]

Hello to all,

New to this forum... An old colleague of mine told me that a long time ago... someone had posted on this forum a newspaper clip/photo showing part of the Farley Mowat German vehicles brought back from Europe in 1945... Following a hangar fire circa 1947-48 the vehicles, damaged by fire were shown all lined up in a mass grave about to be buried. Presumably buried in Petawawa according to the caption... Other theory is that they would still be in Borden where the fire took place...

Does anyone know what photo(s) I'm talking about?

Anyone has hints about these missing vehicles?

Thanks

Hello Guy,

Welcome to MLU! I cannot recall seeing the photo you mention on MLU, but if you search the forum you will find quite a few references to what Farley Mowat brought to Canada after WW2.

HTH,
