The SAR history tells us that CLANKY soldiered on until October - however, that doesn't rule out being hit in August.
The 42 tac sign in the photo, however, would not indicate to me the command vehicle of C Squadron - though the circle would, the 42 suggests the second vehicle of No. 4 troop.

Edit: yeah... another edit: The Way We Were has a pic of Currie atop his tank with his arm resting on a Bren. But you may also want to check Victory at Falaise because I am sure there is a pic of Currie posing in front of his tank. Can't be sure because Junior swiped that book when he was here last. |

Other 1:6 scale tank availability...
Michael (et al)
If you're looking to do another 1:6 Sherman in the future I'd also get you to look at Tamiya's offering. I've seen it in boxed up format, price seems to be slightly less than what was "threatened" in that article you posted, you also get the side benefit of not having to "fix" any location holes etc. Also the side benefit of being able to motorize it as well.... Then you could also model the knocked out King Tiger in 1:6 for your Calgary Highlanders to be picking over as well...... Tim |

Tamiya has a 1:6 Sherman?
Or is that 1:16?

I know they have 1:16...
They've just released their line of 1:16 RC tanks, first with the Tiger I and I think they've got a Sherman or Pershing out now, but I'm almost 100% sure it was a line of 1:6 scale tanks that I saw in the hobby shop. This was three or four years ago mind you so they might not be offering them anymore, but the boxes were HUGE, I don't think a 1:16 scale tank would fit into a box that large without additional padding (the box was at least three or four feet long by about a foot and a half, two feet tall by about six or eight inches deep)
I drooled when I saw it, but the three or four hundred dollar price tag dissuaded me quite quickly. Heck, my wife has a problem with me spending seventy bucks on a model, never mind four hundred!! hehehe.... Tim |

curiosity got the better of me...
An voila! a 1:6 Tamiya Sherman for the bargain price of 500 bucks!
http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/332006.asp I also came across this site which looks cool considering it actually features many CDN vehicles and is from a Canadian... http://www.activevr.com/afv/1-35.html |

Re: CLANKY knocked out at St. Lambert???
Quote:
I have found no reference to CLANKY being knocked out at St. Lambert, CLANKY knocked out a Mk IV at the begining of the action, but from what I've read, wasn"t knocked out. As far has I know and have read, CLANKY was still a runner and operational at the end of the action in question. Anyways, that's my 2¢ worth. Cheers

If Currie, or I should say CLANKY, had anything within the "C" Sqn circle, it would have been either 'C1' or just the numeral '1'. Cheers

Okay, so the pixie suit wouldn't be too apropo for the summer of 44 anyway, so here is Currie in BD instead; div patches are a bit too green yet, but I think I did okay with the lanyard. Still waiting for his Sherman to arrive!

The pdf file of tank names has CT 236656 listed with another Sherman V with SAR and that name being OLD CLANKEY.
