Long Service Life

[David Dunlop]

Some photos of a pair of Machinery vehicles at CFB Borden that were in active service there until the late 1970's. As a result, most of the kit for them survived when they moved across the base to the museum complex. Both were runners in 1984. The 3-Ton body is an MCI product from Winnipeg. The Ford KL was deliberately moved outside so Peter Ford could drool over it.

A couple of fuzzy details regarding the 3-ton photo. There is a prototype truck hiding behind the 3-ton. I cannot remember if it was a Canadian design, or European, but I remember the museum staff advising us it was a project that never went into full production.

Also, there is a tank engine sitting on the floor in the foreground. Cannot recall what it was out of, however.
