Default Convoy to Remembrance

I want to jump back into this forum by sharing an amazing event we have planned for Nov 11, this Sunday.
Last year we fielded over 30 military vehicles (mostly armour) in the Oshawa memorial parade. Some of you may have seen the YouTube documentary “ Convoy to Remembrance”
This year we have 45 vehicles ready to roll. We have well over 60 runners. Our challenge is having trained drivers. So the parade is led by 5 Leopards and includes an M60 (new track pads), two Shermans, Stuart, an array of other armour and a small selection of soft skinned military vehicles.
Again we will create a documentary of the event which will have the use of two drones to enhance the effect of that much armour in the field at one time.
We bring history to life!

Had I known your dance card was not full, I would have reviewed my schedule. Of the museum's collection, there is really only one I'm current on, and you'd have a hard time convincing Brad to sit this out.

As it is, I will be doing a similar parade with the Cold War Collection.

Good luck!

Alan,

Any photo's to post here? It has probably been years since a Canadian street has seen that much armour on it.

Jill Hamilton Photography posted 5 sets of images from the parade - each about 100 images!

FB is not just for finding your old high school friends and starting pointless arguments!
