If you are in Calgary, go to the Museum of the Regiments. Sorry I can't give
you directions, but it is worth the trip.
Outdoors, besides the usual M4A3E8 Sherman and Centurian and M113, was to my
surprise, a Churchill. Upon closer inspection, I was amazed to find out that
this was actually a Crocodile! The tank for towing the fuel and pressurized gas
was missing but the flame gun is still mounted in place of the bow machine gun.
Inside the museum itself there is a life size diorama with a M4A3E8 Sherman as
well.
I spent about 2 hours there and it was rushed. It is worth the effor to go.
If you drive between Calgary and Edmonton there is, in the town of Olds, an
Israeli modified Sherman as well at the Legion Hall. With that coaxial .50 it
sure looks different!
Have fun,
Garry
