M 577 Gate Guardian Kingston

[Scott Bentley]

The Centurion Bridge Layer monument here in Gagetown was driven onto its perch. Same for most if not all of the rest of the "display" vehicles here around the Base. Seems to be standard fare at most of the Bases for that matter.

I think its only the ones on the economy such as at Legions and Armouries that seem to be gutted and welded up.

M548s were like race cars compared to a 113s, or god forbid a Queen Mary. We used to have two per Field Troop for hauling Explosives and Fuel. Although it was nice to have two less tracked vehicles to maintain when they left, the HLVW Cargos we got instead never really filled the void when it came to sheer utility. I know some 113s were converted into an "Armoured 548" of sorts, but i've never actually seen them in use.

I found the M548s to be a maintenance nightmare. They seem to rattle themselves apart.

The pickup style variant of the M113 has made it's way into theater for a couple of years now.

Back to Robin's original entry, if you check over the rear hatch on the M577, the CFR or a serial number should be stamped in the hull there.
