Prairie Command Feb. meeting..

I'll just add that Derk has put a lot of hours into preserving a military truck with a known history in Winnipeg. The truck was originally the bomb truck at CFB Winnipeg. When the DND got out of the bomb disposal game they gave the truck to the Winnipeg Police Service. It was disposed of in the late 70s, at which time it became a locksmith's service vehicle, a camper, and then a work truck at the Winnipeg Yacht club.

It is also neat to see the different eras of police vehicles. At some point, what is simply an old ex-cop car becomes a neat piece of history that would otherwise be too easily lost. After all, how many mid 70s Crown Victorias do you see on the road these days?
