Have you had any contact with the Royal Canadian Dragoons regarding the one that got recovered from the Winchester bog just outside Ottawa?
The approximate location from where it came is as follows for the interested +45° 7' 17.56", -75° 27' 32.07" R Last edited by Robin Craig; 12-01-14 at 14:04.

Here is an image of what it looked like on one of the times I walked out to it in the pre GPS days. I have quite a good sense of direction even in that sized undergrowth. I had found it myself after overflying it in a friends plane and referencing the Staghound to the surrounding trails.
You get an idea as to how close one could walk past it and not even see it. Every time I went I found it, at least that is how I recall it. Does anyone here recognise the young lad with the red hair at the back? The other picture are after the recovery. R

Turret
First weekend without a total fire ban and it's up to the shed.
It is ankle deep in dead leaves here so the gas axe and angle grinder are off limits for a while. Started to pull the mantle and main gun parts out of the turret. I pullled the trunion caps off and still plenty of grease in there which means a clean up and paint only. Made a tool to act as a screwdriver to remove the 20 odd screws but this is a 2 man job for tomorrow.

new diffs and stuff
The old hull has been salvaged of all usable parts as well as the damaged diffs.
Another set of diffs arrived today which are low miles and not damaged. Very Happy.

Hi Wayne,
This arrived last week and I thought it would go rather nicely with your 'toy' in progress.  Regards
