LOL that old chestnut funny how that story keeps resurfacing every few years, the bases keep changing and so dose the tank form sherman to centurions, I image in a few years it will be a Leopard I found in back waters of Gagetown, Do you really like think a country like Canada with a grand total of 120 tanks would really be able to loss two and no one find would them for about 20 some years, besides giving the size of Lahr and activitiy both air and ground I find highly doubt full nobody would find theses "hidden tanks" No to metion what happens when the IIV CH Regt trun in their old tanks for a new ones, excuse mr LCol you seem to short two tanks. It's army urban legend just like the tide box myth.
