Hello All

New member from Canada and this is my first attempt at a post. Sorry no pictures yet but once I get it figured out you'll get them
We have 17 vehiicles in our museum in Niagara on the Lake inc M113A3/Lynx C&R/M113fitter/Abbott/Ferret/2 BrenGun Carriers/a number of CDN trucks/M38s/M151A2/Iltis(factory proto)/Harley/BSA/Army fire truck and are currently negotiating an M543 CDN version as our prime mover. Most are runners or in process. As you all know parts are a priority and next to impossible to get for some vehicles.( Thanks 9-11) We end up begging/borrowing/or taking anything that might fall off the back of a truck. In the 80's we were offered anything the US was dumping inc all paper. We had to pay for transportation only. Had to turn down as the museum was in the small Niagara Falls Armoury with no area for storage. We are mostly volunteers and are almost all Ex-mililtary. We display at the Russel Air Show in June, and even had to tow the Memphis Belle with our Lynx when she got stuck on the dirt runway. Anyhow that's it for now. If you can help with M113 parts or help in general or just want to gab I am at craigsmith@sympatico.ca. annnd will try to respond ASAP[/list][/list]
