AMX-30, AMX-30 and AMX-30B2

Correct. Over to you.

Now name this pile of whatever.

French AMX-40

Manual adjustment, but that's how it was done.

Yes, they were and yes, it could!

Interesting. The source says that this was a prototype and was tested, but not adopted.  The later versions were a different vehicle, the MM-1 Teracruzer, part of the Mace missile system http://www.mace-b.com/38TMW/Missiles/MM-1.htm http://blog.hemmings.com/

Here is a different one I found on my way to somewhere else.  The markings in this photo are civilian but there was a military connection.

I think you are right. Gary Barling's web site photos of the one in front of the SD&G armoury in Cornwall support the offset grilles. http://www.armouredacorn.com/Reference/VStudies/Lynx/M113CR.htm Barry Beldam's drawings of the M113 C&R show it better...

Very nice job! The Hobbyfan M113 C&R is available from Trackjam Models in Etobicoke for $150 + GST + PST + S & H. Diehl track set is $40 plus taxes, S & H. http://www.trackjam.com/orderform.htm

I did a tour of military museums in the Ottawa Valley this past summer, including the Diefenbunker at Carp. It's certainly worth the trip and the price of admission is a bargain. The staff are knowledgeable and quite fun, actually. And they have almost all of the info right. They could not...

DIEMACO is an easy protest target as Project Ploughshares is based in the Mennonite Conrad Grebel College at UoW. And Mennonites are profound, deep and true pacifists.

Nice to see CWO Girouard recognized. I only met him once, but he was an impressive man.

Curious. My local UPI gas station has a list of acceptable ID's on the wall behind the cashier. Yes, Forces ID is there in living colour.

Episode 303 (NATO with HMCS Iroquois) just finished on Country Canada. Excellent show and much better production than earlier seasons. Good use of archival footage to show weapons systems, too.
