Preservation
I look forward to the day when, like the Lancaster bombers which were once perched on plinths across Canada, that these historic vehicles get pulled from the parks and are given the proper indoor storage and display they so rightfully deserve. Putting money into refurbish these vehicles only to park them outside is a waste of resources and time, 120K would certainly go a long way to providing a proper shelter for this historic vehicle.

RIP Phil Cockburn
Phil Cockburn, London's last armoured soldier to survive D-Day passes away:
https://london.ctvnews.ca/mobile/lon...away-1.4900488 One could say “Holy Roller” is now the last D-Day survivor in London... When old soldiers fade away, it is important to preserve their equipment as a reminder of their deeds. Quote:

I don't know how I've missed this thread all these years. I've visited this tank many times over the years when visiting London for an international AFV conference. I'm glad the decay is being halted and it can become a true memorial to all those mounted soldiers. It would be great for people to see be able to seen inside in the future.

The tank Holy Roller a veteran of the Second World War should be brought indoors, restored (and kept indoors) and given the respect it deserves. Anything less then a full on, top to bottom, restoration is just kicking the can down the road as it rots away from the inside out.
