Just had to let you know about this one "The Okanagan Military Museum", lots of great personal photos including a few on Reece Jeeps from the 70's and 80"s. I think I'll have to redo some of the details on my jeeps as there is quite a bit more to them than my crappy memory remembered!...including the roll bars an the '74 ( You where right Jason)and wire cutters on the front bumpers, very cool. Nice shots of some Cougars too. Try Googling "Recce Jeeps" and you'll see a black and white shot of some jeeps, follow the thread and you'll get there. Sorry but the address didn't seem to work for me.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do, and I apologize if this has already been brought up.
Cheers

Peter,

Great find! Those are some excellent photos. Thanks for letting us know about them. Great pieces of Canadian Armour history.

Thanks for setting up the link Kevin, These local museums contain so much history and reference for modelers.
Glad you like
Cheers

Wouldn't you know it, drove through Kelowna last week on the way to Vancouver Island! I'm sure the Family would have understood if I stopped for 1/2 hr or so to check it out...Moot point now, anyhow, but had I known, it would have been interesting to see. Maybe next time.

Where on the site did you folks find the photos? Call me stupid but I didn't find the photos.

Jim - I will be visiting family in Kelowna later this fall. I'll do a recce of the museum and report back with pictures.

Cheers - Dan

Yes, wouldn't you know it when I was originally looking for reference for my jeeps, do you think I tried "googling" , "Recce Jeeps", nope.....didn't even dawn on me, what a loser.
Anyhow if you can get to the pictures at the museums web site theres a ton of reference on Jeeps, Cougars etc,
Hope you take some of that Alberta gold home with you in September!, maybe next year I'll do a road trip to Cowtown.
I had to pull the pin on my Scud/Maz launcher today, just can't see it getting done before the show in October so I guess it will make an appearence next year...maybe an all Russian theme, comrade.
Ask Martin about the scud next time you're in, he'll fill you in.
Cheers
Pete
