Are you sure about that? Fireflies in Canada are quite rare as none were made or used in Canada during the war. They would have had to be brought back after...
Hello: While labelled a Firefly (as is common in Canada), the tank in Sarnia is, in fact, an M4A2 (76) HVSS. It's named Calamity, and was the last tank of the...

Speaking of Data Plates, we are looking for one to put in a M4 Canadian Grizzly (it's missing-big suprise)Even a loan so that we can make a resin copy....
... Thanks for doing the scan, Barry. The overall width of 117 3/4 inches on the lower dataplate would be a clue that that one had HVSS. Sherman hulls were 103...
