Whippet

I built the same 1/35 scale model not too long ago. It graces a window ledge in my downstairs museum.

An original Whippet sat in the Base Borden Armour Row for years.

During my Armoured Vehicle qualification course in the early '80s, that same Whippet was housed in our hangar, being refurbished by volunteer soldiers.

Damned if I know where it is now. :confused

I haven't been there for several years now, but last I saw, the Whippet was inside, out of the weather... is it still there, or has it been "transferred"?

Borden Whippet (whippet good)

The last time I saw it, it was indoors, tucked in the corner. This was NOV 06.
I believe the museum was still closed for renovations at that time, however the cleaner made the mistake of leaving the door ajar....oh well, my bad.

Cheers
