Tactical Wargamer Posted June 3, 2000 Share Posted June 3, 2000 I was told that there is a Out Door WW II Tank Museum at the Borden Military Base, can anyone please advise if I have the right city/base? Thanks in advance..... P.S. Is it any good? Hours of operation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted June 3, 2000 Share Posted June 3, 2000 Worthington Tank Park is located at CFB Borden. Website is: http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/6209/ The Hetzer is currently under restoration to running condition. ------------------ When I die I want to go peacefully, like my grandfather, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaffertape Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 Babra - That signature made me reel with laughter (despite the fact that I'm at work on a Sunday morning). Very nice. A fellow Canuck - GAFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Wargamer Posted June 4, 2000 Author Share Posted June 4, 2000 Thanks for the info went on Saturday afternoon......went through 2 rolls of film. Luv the panther, too bad they dont paint them up a little more. Field grey, with no national or unit characteristics is a little boring. It was very impressive to see the Sherman mine clearing tank. Not sure if this tank is included or was it the Churchill crab that was included, oh well have to check I guess. Can hardly wait till the Hertzer is fully operational, now that would be a treat! My friends (fellow CM addicts) had a great time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 Yeah, those grey paint jobs on the German stuff are pretty lame. Wonder who's brainchild that was? Ah well, Saturday was a fine day for it, that's for sure. ------------------ When I die I want to go peacefully, like my grandfather, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darstand Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 "Yeah, those grey paint jobs on the German stuff are pretty lame" I guess most people (including me)have trouble with the markings of the Germans emblazoned on anything. But it would be nice if the atleast put a camo job on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Wargamer Posted June 5, 2000 Author Share Posted June 5, 2000 I agree, but at least maybe a german cross, certainly not any Nazi crap or anything. I think it would be an insult to some of the dead tankers buried/cremated there to have any waffen SS stuff/markings on the grounds. I think the flak tank...hmm labled Oswind (sp??) should have been a Whirlwind(sp) as it had the quad 20's.....I think anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
