Garfield, the school in Etobicoke that refurbished the Grizzly Firefly has a new project-A German tank. I don't know what tank they received except they need a clutch plate to make it operational. Can you find out more about this and let's see if we can get them the help and parts they need.

Hetzer?

October 27 2009, 4:55 PM 

Hello:

My bet would be the Hetzer that is up at CFB Borden (it's a very early production example). There was a restoration to running condition that was started on that vehicle 10 years or so ago, but with the passing away of the project coordinator (a German WWII vet), the vehicle was reassembled and put back on outdoor display several years ago.

Here are some photos of the vehicle when it was under restoration:

I wish they had the Wirbelwind from Borden (I think), but the Hetzer is a lot more manageable. So is the Grizzly Firefly project complete?

Cheers,

Scott
