Awesome Tanks

Did you know that some of the Museum’s tanks still run? Feel the rumble of their massive engines, and witness history in motion at our vehicle demonstrations. Chat with Museum staff and get close to these powerful machines.
Explore military technology through a display of over 100 model tanks and armoured vehicles. Meet members of the Ottawa Valley Armour Modellers Association, and learn more about their fascinating hobby. Then decorate your own delicious tank . . . cookie!

Good idea Ed. Are youngsters required to bath in hydraulic fluid and break track before they can participate?

For Sure!
 

What fun would it be if you cannot get your kids to perform the basic maintenance on an AFV. Nothing harmful about vehicle fluids, little grease and oil would be good for them.

It never bothered m........what the hell were we talking about again??

Rob, have you been eating out of aluminium mess tins for too long :D

Just home after the morning show. Plenty of familiar faces from MLU and from the Cold War Collection. The highlight (for me) was to see and feel the M3 Lee running up and down the gravel back lane. If you have heard an M113, you will remember the squeaks and clicks. The M3 has none of those noises.
