The side trip up to CFB Borden was to connect with Colin Alford.
I had a conversation with Colin at the Acton during the OMVA show.He dropped the bombshell that he had a windshield and a rudder and that both were in fair shape. My windshield frame is broken along the top and missing some of the fastenings. Unfortunately we didn't connect at Aquino but this trip made so much sense to go get it. I am very much in debt to Colin for this act of preservation and recognising that this manufactured item has value to someone in the future, a true member of the MV hobby. Thank you Colin. The plexi is broken but it is easy to have it remade now I have the complete frame. I think that an Ottawa company may make the replacement unless I can find one locally in Kingston. Before I forget it if anyone is able to let me know a parts supplier for the drawer catches on the steel cubes I would appreciate that, Rob Love thinks they were made for the CF by Stanley. One never knows who is watching . . .

Is there an NSN on them?

Ed that is an early prototype as the frame rises alongside the body tub and lacks any lifting or tie down points in the corners.
Terry, I am for my sins a member of the FB RCEME group and reached out there and got a stellar set of replies and have spoke to the manufacturer Stanley Vidmar / Tresk and am awaiting an email on price and availability.

I was going to suggest Vidmar, but have had occasion here of being corrected, so I wanted to wait.

Robin,
I have stumbled across this link: http://onf-nfb.gc.ca/en/our-collecti...cles&pagenav=1 It appears that the National Film Board produced at least 2 and possibly 4 films on the RAT with the longest run-time listed as 30 min. I have not explored this far enough to determine how you could obtain a copy of these films. Colin

Colin,
Absolutely brilliant, thank you. I have joined the NFB.ca site and when their confirmation email lands in I will login and try to watch some of those. Failing that I will make alternate enquiries. Thank you, once again.
