When you get off the ferry at Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island, the first town you come to is Sidney. I didn’t know there was anything there that we were interested in but one of our party, Jim, was keen to see an F-86 Sabre and a Sherman tank that are on display in the town. They are sitting on a pretty average looking street so seem a little incongruous. The Sabre looked like it was in need of some love. The tank, on the other hand, seemed in great condition. Of course, a tank is a bit more resilient to the comings and goings of a town so it probably can handle itself. I did like the Keep Off notice on the front. Probably not original but, it would have been funny if it had been in German. (For the specialists, I know the Canada did not use these tanks in Germany.)
Scroll down on this page for a pic of (possibly) this exact tank in Korea.

“‘Cheetah’ Canadian M4A3(76)W HVSS Sherman Tank used in the Korea War armed with a 76 mm gun. Notice White Star is still visible under the circle Squadron Identity marker that was painted on top.”
We borrowed them from the Americans.
