Thanks very much Lance. As a follow-up was there a Leopard C1 in Germany modified with the IWS for testing in addition to the C1 in Gagetown with the IWS? Are there any images of the IWS C1 that was in Gagetown kicking around?

Thanks very much Gentlemen, much appreciated!

I am looking for some information on the old Leopard C1s. Believe it or not there is actually a book in the works on the Canadian Leopard C1 in Germany for all you old Black Hatters to drool over and I am currently trying to gather some background technical information. 1. Did the Leopard C1...

As a followup.....in 1996 there was a Badger in Bosnia with IFOR. It did not have the MEXAS mounts. Where did it come from....2 CER? Am I correct in thinking it remained in Bosnia and was uparmoured with MEXAS for SFOR (1998 images shwo the SFOR Badger with MEXAS) or was a new Badger brought in...

Excellent info Kat! I have only seen images of two of the Badgers before and during the deployment to UNPROFOR. I never knew there were four deployed. Did they only go over for ROTO 0 and then were returned to Germany?

Thanks for the info...Roto 5 would have been 1993/1994? It seems like a lot of logistics to bring the two Badgers over from Germany and then send them back after a tour...but stranger things have happened.

I am hoping someone can provide answers for my questions. Back in 1992 at the start of UNPROFOR I there were Badger AEVs deployed to Bosnia/Croatia with the Battle Group. How many Badgers? My research indicates there were two Badgers deployed from 4 CER. What happened to them? Did they stay...

Too bad they didn't combine 422 with the IWS trials.

The tank was at one time inside and at this time I believe it is stowed outside awaiting some new batteries to get it fired up again.

Thanks for the confirmation on the Valcartier connection.

Hi Lance, Thanks very much for providing your reply and the details on the Leopard. I will see if I can get some images to show the turret top. FYI...I think you were my Course WO back on my AAG course back in the early 1990s. Take care and thanks again.

Hi George, I am in Calgary. I am dealing with the CWM Collections Manager at the current time. The tank does not appear to be a hybrid of a mixed hull and turret. Neither the hull or turret have any Canadian modifications, other than the stowage basket,  and all of the placards inside are...

I have seen one image but it is not mine to post. The image was taken on exercise during a road move in 1975....and as best as I can determine by triangulating a position by examining the traffic signs at a Y intersection in the image it was taken in Diesenbach.

Hello Gentlemen, After years of observing your posts I am seeking some answers from the gurus of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps on a couple of questions about some unique modifications on some of Canada's past tanks.  These might get you scratching your head or they might get the old drive...
