I know that is usually the case here.
DHH is likely offerring thru a CANFORGEN for AFVs, but administered by ADM(Mat) as someones' punishment. Museums are never run for the long term. Most, as you well know, are run by earnest amateurs with good intentions but painfully limited resources. It does help to remind people from time to time what is available. The gang referred to earlier may not have had an inclination to get an LSVW until now. Who knows?

For what it's worth, one particular MLVW used by the Geo Techs in Valcartier had been issued to a Dental unit in Bosnia 'way back when'. The Dents are having an anniversary, and the Geos were ordered cough up an operational vehicle for a year of displays.
