CFR Request Thread

Back in the late 1960’s, when the main entrance to Kapyong Barracks in Winnipeg was on Kenaston Blvd, just off the corner of Grant Avenue, there used to be 2 of these Triumphs parked on a regular basis beside the long red brick MP Building on the right side of the entrance heading into the complex.

I seem to recall another as part of the FHG Museum collection at MacGregor Armoury more recently. Not sure if it is still there, or if it came out of Winnipeg held equipment originally.

Hi Ed! Got another request from a gentleman on FB for a trailer he recently purchased.

M101 CDN 2, Serial 1909.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Serial 1909 was CFR 15064 manufactured in September 1994. It was disposed of from ASU/CFB Montreal in April 2007.

I have a 1985 Bombardier Iltis. Wondering if anyone has info on units it may have been with or where it went.

Identification number is BI-01-04-85-87012

Thanks

Your Iltis 87012 was disposed of out of 25 CF Depot, Montreal in Sept 2005 and you are lucky as you have a vehicle with some overseas service as it had been used in both Haiti and Yugoslavia. I suspect your Iltis was being used with SFOR in Bosnia prior to being returned to Montreal.

87012: Yes Ed, a very well travelled Iltis. Looks like you can add Germany to it's list as well. Here in Canada, Borden as well as a few different attachments to some of the French units. The record even has it as being attached to ATCO, which would have been after they assumed a lot of the equipment maintenance in Bosnia in 1999.

Thank you for the information guys. I had managed to find out that my Iltis was in Bosnia as I found this picture of it there posted on another forum. Interesting to see how much it actually traveled.
