I don't think there was anything preventing us from bringing back equipment....the question was did we want it back here. The airforce brought a lot of it back only to distribute it around to bases that did not necessarily need it. I know we had a huge airfield crane sitting unassembled in MooseJaw until two guys spotted it and made an offer which NDHQ accepted. We had no need for large crash cranes in Moose Jaw since when a tutor went down you could load pretty much any of it by hand or with a much smaller crane.
When the German's left Shilo they sold some of their equipment very cheaply to us that they did not want to bring back. It included two range control unimogs, a MCI scenic cruiser bus, and a 1985 Ford Crown Victoria, which was their Commanders staff car. For some reason the German's loved those big Fords. Anyway, long story short the unimogs and the sedan were gone within a month or so, while the MCI went on for many years afterwards......might still be here but I would have to check.
If you get Scotty to run the CFR he can tell you where and when the MAN was disposed of.
