Getting the Lynx monument in place at the 8th Hussars Museum is part of the Museum's fall 150th celebration and memorial to 8th Canadian Hussars who have been killed in Service as part of Peace keeping and NATO duties for Canada.
Darren Spicer explains a little history on the Lynx.
Thanks to Darren Spicer and Bart Ostrum, the hull was cleaned, painted and re-stenciled with the exception of it’s call sign which is still on our to do list. The call sign, as Darren stated will be 42 Charlie. Darren successfully negotiated the support of MSA Towing Service who were available June 29,2017, to donate their time to move the monument and also Arbing Equipment who provided other support to the project free of charge.
A number of former Hussars stopped by to watch the unloading and shared some old times with us.
Jason Thorne from the town was in attendance to ensure the positioning of the vehicle met the towns requirements
This project would not have gone forward without the support of the CO, Regt 2IC, RSM and other support staff and the museum volunteers . We are looking forward to completing the planning for the fall ceremony which will take place October 21, 2017.
