I've been talking to someone who swears that the Ram at Meaford story is not true. I seem to remember a picture of the Ram posted on the old forum but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone help direct me? Am I losing my mind? Thanks for the help.

J.P.,
You're not losing your mind - there is a Ram at Meaford, at least there was until very recently. Yours is the challenge to find out if it is still there! About all I can do from overseas is posting all I know here. - See the thread CMPs surviving in unlikely places on the old MLU Forum and scroll down to the postings about Meaford's Ram. - This subject was also discussed in detail on the AFV News Discussion Group some three years ago. I saved some of the threads, of which I copied some below. Attached goes the picture of the hull Kurt M. sent me. Regards, Hanno Quote:

In 1994 I sat in the hull. It is not on the Main Ranges, it is to the west of the old M72 range, in the wood line east of the Bowl, just north of the range road about 400m. The tank is/was on the South side of the trees, facing the road.
It was a complete hull, drivers seat and controls still in it. No turret. No motor, but access doors still on. At the time I found it, I was the OC of a cougar sqn and pulled up beside it to give some quick attack orders. I had been beside it and in it several times. Geoff came up one time, and we tried to find it in an ILTIS, but the thing does not do X country and I could not get my hands on a carrier. I have heard rumour that it was pulled out by Range control and place on the range, but I have not been back to Meaford since 98. |
