Interesting that it is still in it's proper camouflage. The last couple delivered to this area had been sanitized to a flat green. I'm hoping to fix that yet on the one that remained here in the base.

We have 3 on the base that remained here after their service, and did not go through 202 workshop for demil. Two of the three are in runing condition while the third one was demilled and put on display at RCHA.

The ones from 202 had their fluids drained, everything welded, and even the tracks were welded to the sprockets. They were meant to be craned from the flatbed right onto their monument position.

There are listmakers all over the Interweb. Some post their lists. Others are diligent, for instance two friends of Gunner Mike's have found hidden treasures in little parks, cemeteries and town squares.

Hal Skarrup has posted several finds on his site.

Private money most likely.

One of the township historic societies has a project to post the original land allotment survey maps on line. I will ask my surveyor colleague which township. He knew all the terminology on the land titles to the amazement of the historical people. The only difficulty he had was reading the longhand manuscript.

It may be that the municipal policy regarding the bilingualism is not the same as the federal or provincial government.
