The base commander liked what he saw, and directed that more vehicles be made ready for this year's parade. So this year we managed to provide a total of 11 vehicles, a limber and 2 guns. The whole day was uneventful with no breakdowns or problems.

The lineup included: M38A1Cdn3 ceremonial and vice regal Jeep, M38A1Cdn2 in MP configuration, Ilits (new for this year), M37Cdn (new for this year with fresh sandblast and paint), M133 w/w towing C1 howitzer, AVGP, C15A cargo (fresh paint for the parade), C15TA (fresh tires from last year), Lynx scout car, White scout car, and a Chev FAT with limber and 25pdr.

The White had a few repairs in the last week or two, including the repair of a bent rear driveshaft, and the replacement of a loose pitman arm on the steering box. As well, the water pump had been successfully rebuilt from last year.

Big thanks to Derk who came out a few days early to help paint vehicles and transport them to and from the parade.

Here are some shots from the event:
