Things to see in and around Vancouver:

Museum of Flight and Transportation at Langley Municipal Airport has one of the two surviving Hampden Bombers left in the world which is worth the trip by itself.

Ram Cruiser tank outside of the Beatty Street Armoury, downtown Vancouver, home of the B.C. Dragoons.

15th Field Artillery Regiment which isn't too far from the Seaforth Highlanders armoury has a decent museum with one of the ultra rare Huot Machine Guns.

Maritime Museum in Kitsilano has preserved the St. Roch, a former RCMP vessel that transitted the North west passage.

I'm sure the guys still living in B.C. can add greatly to the list.

CHEEMO! Derek.
