The Centurion Bridge Layer monument here in Gagetown was driven onto its perch. Same for most if not all of the rest of the "display" vehicles here around the Base. Seems to be standard fare at most of the Bases for that matter.
I think its only the ones on the economy such as at Legions and Armouries that seem to be gutted and welded up.
M548s were like race cars compared to a 113s, or god forbid a Queen Mary. We used to have two per Field Troop for hauling Explosives and Fuel. Although it was nice to have two less tracked vehicles to maintain when they left, the HLVW Cargos we got instead never really filled the void when it came to sheer utility. I know some 113s were converted into an "Armoured 548" of sorts, but i've never actually seen them in use.
