I took my daughter back to Uni up in Ottawa. Made an excuse to go look at a bike over in the Petawawa area and wound up here

Centurion. What's up with the camo ?

The Soviet airborne tank destroyer is interesting. As for the Centurion ? Some form of winter camo ?

I agree with you re Shermans ; they are either early or late as far as I'm concerned

Honest John. There was a really neat photo of one mounted on a truck. I really should have taken more time there

What a great Dad to take your daughter there- all just for her

Neat, especially the snow machines and the Honest John. Nothing says Cold war quite like unguided nuclear rockets.

The shermans look like "easy 8's" to me (M4A3E8). The Centurian looks like its over dossed on acid.
