On the morning of 3 October 2015 8th Hussar Museum Board Members, Volunteers and Friends traveled to Gagetown for the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps 75th Anniversary Parade . On the parade square there was a spectacular line up of tanks from the very large leopard to a vintage Bren Gun Carrier and Ferret!
The Vintage vehicles lead the parade, a Ferret Scout Car owned and driven by Mike Baxter , followed by the Bren Gun carrier owned by the 8th Hussars Museum Sussex N.B. The Bren Gun Carrier was driven by Museum Board member Darren Spicer , dressed in an original War II uniform. Our Bren Carrier was used in the roll past and by the inspecting officer Gen Dean. He specifically asked for it since his first experience with the military included a ride in a Bren gun Carrier. A proud moment for the 8th Hussars Museum!
