Preserved Stuart tanks in Canada ?

[Darrell Zinck]

Hi

Wow!! Old thread.

From the 2003 posts; I recall unloading that Stuart in Calgary down at the LdSH lines with Jim R. and Kevin T.

As none of us really knew how to start and or drive it, it sticks in my memory!!

I've not heard of any Stuart around these parts. Jason?

I also rememeber a collector friend I knew telling me that some Stuart' s sold were cut down and use as a base for rock drilling machines. There were at least one or two around Ottawa, but this is along time ago, 50's or 60's, so it would be lucky if they are still around. I remember, too, seeing an M3, or M3A1 chassis being used as the base for a crane in a small boatyard on the coast of Massachusetts or Maine, maybe 20 years ago. I guess some were sold as surplus here, but the best, most complete ones were the ex Portugese M5A1's , sold from Southeastern Equipment

I have never heard of anything down this way, Mabey for training in Sussex or Utopia but that would have been prior to 54 as Gagetown became gagetown in 57...and nothing after that for sure on that side and never have heard of a private collector or anyone having something like that.
