Default Today at the CWM

Today at 1100 and 1300 the CWM highlighted three of the running vehicles from the technology collection. The vehicles were the Lynx II armoured car, Lynx tracked reconnaissance vehicle and the M113A3 TOW under Armour. The weather was fine and approximately 175 people watched as Jason Ginn from the CWM along with his volunteer staff got the vehicles running and put them through their paces. Here are a few images from the event. At this time there are plans to hold another similar event - more to follow when the details are provided.

Default Great Shots!

That had to be a lot of fun. I especially like Jason's "hair helmet". I wonder if he was wearing the famous "safety sandals". Unfortunately, I was on the road yesterday and missed the show. Thanks for the pics.

It took me months to grow that helmet!

The day was a huge success. I was really impressed by the public turnout and the numerous positive remarks from visitors. All of the vehicles performed reliably and looked great!

I loved the comment from one spectator who remarked that you could actually feel the TUA in the soles of your feet as it went by. For me this signified that we had succeeded at providing a unique and memorable experience to those in attendance.

A really big thank you has to go out to all the volunteers who supported this event.

Great pictures Ed!

Thanks,

J
