I am brought to mind of an apocryphal story about the decommissioning of CFB Lahr in Germany. A friend told me when the crews were almost done, the Germans asked what they wanted done with "the tanks" in some far-off forested part of the base. Apparently, a pair of Centurion tanks had been camouflaged and then forgotten, possibly in the period the CF upgraded to Leopard Is or later (being used at some point in some kind of "find the tank" exercise?). Sorry, no citation or photo proof!
