Canadian Ferret with Strathcona history

[Scott Bentley]

Sad but true.

I feel like i'm always "that guy" when I post on here lately, but being on the inside I can tell you that the appetite for this type of stuff is minimal to non-existent within the CF.

Case in point. There is another Ferret (complete and running) originally belonging to the LDSH, sitting in a hanger at 1 CER covered in dust and hasn't moved in years. When the long time Regt civvie mechanic retired a few years back, the Ferret got parked.

The Army of today definitely isn't the one I joined in the early 90s. Many of these Regt Historic vehicles harken from an era when Units weren't deploying every other year and could hide injured soldiers from DMCA. The other issue is funding as mentioned above. Some of these guys and many of the projects are ending up at Base Museums who have even less $$.

Don't take it personally. It is what it is.
