Please take a read of my original post on the Infantry forum. http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/105622.0.html If anyone has any additional info to add or images of this mysterious vehicle(s) that would be great.

Thanks very much Fellas....I am glad that you could confirm its existance for me. I'll post on the Armour page as well to see if any other details can be dug up. It is interesting that this concept was trialed and cancelled. I suspect with so much reliance on the AVGP fleet and the move toward...

I recall reading in Janes Defence about a Canadian M113A2 fitted with a Delco 25 mm turret for trials. Does anyone have any information or images about this trial vehicle?

Good Morning, I am hoping some of you original Leopard club members can shed some light and information on the Canadian Leopard 1A2 Rent-a-Tanks used between 1977 and 1978 and of course during CAT 77. How long was the conversion training? Were Leopard gun drills used or Centurion gun drills or...

Thanks again Fellas....all very useful information!

Thanks again guys for double checking on the differences between the C71 and C74. Ready for the next question? Can anyone confirm whether there was one Taurus ARV or two when the Leopard 1A2 rent-a-tanks were used in 1977/1978? As both 'A' and 'B' Squadrons of the RCD were using the Leopard...

The cut off date I am looking for is 1993....when the tanks returned to Canada from Germany. Thanks for the info!

Thanks!

Thanks....which one is the training Sabot round that had the hollow nosed projectile?

Next question.... What are the Canadian designations for the 105 mm tank rounds? Please confirm if these are correct... APFSDS-T……C76 TPDS-T....C74 TPFSDS-T...C71 HESH-T....L35A1/2 SH/PRAC-T....L38 or C72 or C109A1 WP Smoke-T...M416? Blank....C29 Thanks in advance! I believe the C148...

OK, here is another Cold War query. I recently came upon some Troop patches dated between 1968 and 1970 from the LdSH(RC) for a Anti-Tank Troop that used the SS-11 / ENTAC Missile in Germany. The dates make sense as the Strathconas were replaced in Germany by the RCD in June 1970. Could...

Thanks again for the additional information fellas.

Thanks for the offer. I found a couple of copies at the public library in Calgary!

I agree...very informative information!

Ain't that the truth. How would have the Combat Arms functioned without porn in every vehicle in the field? I will try to dig up a copy of the book, thanks again!

Thanks for the info and the ORBAT breakdown. I had done a bunch of Google searches already and had seen all the links you provided....actually I wrote all the text in the third link you provided....it is fiction and based on a notional version of the Centurion....remember, don't trust...

Hello Gentlemen, I am hoping someone with the "way back" machine can shed some light on old school Anti-Armour in Germany. In the 1960s 3 Mech Cdo used both the M113 with 106 mm RR and the M113 with the SS-11 missiles. How many M113s with the SS-11 were in service between Germany and Canada...

Thanks again Gents, OK, next set of questions... 1. When did the mine rollers and mine plows enter service for the C1? It appears to be 1987 but confirmation would be great. 2. When was the armoured electrical connection added to the left of the driver's hatch on the upper hull for the dozer...

Hunter Killer sight? Was this a German PERI sight adapted to the C1 or something designed elsewhere? In regards to the IWS testing I recall hearing /reading about one of the 8CH Leopard C1s being transported to the UK to conduct the test firing with the IWS at Royal Ordnance Defence using new...

I figured as much....a unique situation that will never happen again in any Regiment.
