Default Farley Mowatt V2 and trailer

I was visiting last night and a gentleman told me of a V2 and its trailer at the CNE around 1963. He thinks it was part of the same hoard as the Farley Mowatt items posted elsewhere.

He thinks it once lived at Point Petrie on Prince Edward County in Ontario. What happened to it?

I saw this V2 at the CNE when I was much younger; 1963 seems about the correct year. It was situated on a triangular piece of property where the Hockey Hall of Fame is/was.Looking at the rocket, facing east, the coliseum was on the left, with the Food Building to the right.

Mike Filey, a well known Toronto historian wrote a couple of articles about it but it seems that he was trying to track its whereabouts with not much luck.
