Pity they couldn't even get the LAV correct on the website. The graphic shown is a US Marine LAV-25

Just a question, why a replica??? Why not a de-commissioned vehicle?

Indeed, quote from website: "LAV III Monuments will be built from actual Canadian Armed Forces LAV IIIs with all functional components removed".

True... I thought about that after the fact but couldn't imagine them giving the Dragoons so much of the glory

Heads up!!
New full page ad in the Globe & Mail How your community can apply for a LAVIII monument to commemorate Afghan war vets.b
Apparently these will be " full size replicas" whatever that means.. I assume that means stripped vehicles weld ed shut ?? Anybody know any more?? check out lavmonument.ca |

Gutted, portions of the armour replaced, freshly painted. You pay 10K for the LAV, transport from GDL, and have to make the pad according to their specs. Total outlay could be around $40K, depending on your distance from London ON.
At least these were the terms when it was discussed about a year back. I had heard rumblings that the program was on hold due to US state department concerns, but that may have just been rumour. I have not spotted any yet, has anyone? Museums are being offerred runners or monuments. |

We've applied.........
Originally no cost was discussed other than building a
suitable base. Then it went to $10.000, now it is $15,000 plus plus. I have asked for a final price and can't get a reply. This will eliminate a lot of small Legions and Museums that have signed up. The vehicles are totally stripped, inside and out. No lights, no tool brackets of any kind, front hatch eliminated and flat pieces everywhere. I will post a picture later today. Peter S |

Has any programme been set up to address tires on these monuments?
A tracked vehicle needs a bit of paint once in a while to look respectable. But numerous tires in various degrees of deflation & rotting from the sun will look less than impressive & could pose an expensive burden on the custodians down the road. Many of the vehicles at Borden are on stands but the visible rotting of the current production rubber cannot be hidden as time goes on. |
