I had no idea that we have a tank museum in the Toronto area! To be fair, Canadian Tank Museum wasn't always known by this name; it is also the Ontario Regiment Museum. Given that it was sort of on our way to Ottawa, I added this as a stop on our trip (it is in Oshawa, right beside the airport).
The date of our visit (August 8th) was the day they were holding their Korean War observation. This meant that they highlighted 6 vehicles in particular, where the Priest SPG is confirmed to have been in that war, and the other vehicles were possible.
They had laagered these vehicles in a separate area and we had a good look at them before the start of the main show. The vehicles are a jeep, a truck, the Priest mentioned above, a Sherman Easy 8, a Centurion 5, and a T34-85.
After that, we went over to the main building where they put a bunch of vehicles out into the open to make room so that you can move around to see the vehicles inside.Finally, they put on a show featuring the Korean war vehicles parading around, although the T34 had to cut its parade short due to mechanical problems.
The Sherman popped off a couple of rounds, which rattled my ribs.
The finale was a simulated tank battle between a Leopard 1 and an M60.
The museum is well worth a visit, especially on an event day.
