M386 Launcher

[KAGA]

I am looking for photos, or illustrations, of M386 launcher for Honest John rocket used by the Canadian Army during the Cold War.
I am particularly interested in the various equipments, their shapes and positions, after the driving compartment. Any material would be appreciated.

I don't have any photos right now but there is a complete truck with rocket, and a spare rocket on trailer at the Shilo museum. There are also the pieces off two of the trucks (launchers, platforms etc) out at the local mil scrapyard if you have the desire for a big project.

An old artillery WO gave me some kind of large thermometer for checking the propellant temperature before launching in case you do decide to assemble such a project.

Decent images of the unit at Shilo can be found at:http://www.mil-mod.nl/html/photo11.html

Hope this helps.

Thank you Jason; I knew about both sites you mentioned but they don't show what I need. There is a French site which is more useful but not enough.
