Sherman III at Base Borden

[rob love]

I did hear back, decades ago, that a movie company was filming on or near the base and needed a Sherman to blow up. The example in front of the Sgts & WOs mess was procured for $10K and used as such. So it may have been done in the past, but doubtful today.

So the Churchill is mine if I tell them I'm making a movie and want to blow it up? And better yet, I'll get a government grant to cover the cost if I tell them the movie will be 100% Canadian Content and will revise Canadian history to the latest 'woke' standard. Nothing left to do but clean out a space for it in the garage....

No kidding, I’ll sell my soul for one of the Shermans there 😆
