Sherman M4A2 and Ferret Armoured Scout Car at the Armoury, PEI

Post by AndrewR »

The Prince Edward Island Light Horse mobilized an armoured squadron designated the '1st Canadian Armoured Brigade Headquarters Squadron (The Prince Edward Island Light Horse), CASF' as part of II Canadian Corps, serving in the NW Europe Campaign in 1945-1945.

The Armoury in Charlottetown, PEI has a Sherman M4A2 and a Ferret Armoured Car outside to represent this.

Very nice! Love how the Ferret is mounted on a concrete block so no-one can drive it away!

I suspect it is to keep it from deflating rotting tyres. Partially inflated will last a long while like that.

Great photos, and very useful for the forthcoming arrival of the Airfix Ferret ( and Sherman GB??) 👍
Best wishes
