Canadian T72 tanks

[45jim]

We had one in Calgary that we got running and added to our Historical Vehicle Troop that we used for dog and pony's and the odd car crush. It originally came from Suffield where they had another pair for fuel/air explosive testing which we stripped for spares. It was a crude but robust vehicle that certainly could have been a significant threat in Europe to our Leopard C1's.

Here are some Korea vets taking her for a spin at our 1995 Regimental reunion. That's me smiling in the drivers seat, MLU'er Darryl Zinck is there in the grey coveralls. When the Regiment moved to Edmonton in '96 it became a static monument and I believe it was shipped back to Calgary to the Museum of the Regiments as an outdoor display piece.
