Something incredible has happened at the Legion! We have acquired a 1954 Dodge Power Wagon M 152 Forward Radio Command Vehicle. The acquisition and refurbishing... was spearheaded by Legion Member and proud legionnaire Cliff Chamberlin. Cliff was an RCAF aircraft mechanic from 1965 to 1971, posted in Trenton, Ontario. Chamberlin spotted this beauty in April and began the restoration. The majority of the work is complete but it is on-going. When in action, this vehicle was on the DEW (Distance Early Warning) line in Yellowknife to maintain radio supremacy. If there was a problem with radio signals in the area, the vehicle would overcome it. Browse through our photos for more information but above all - stop by the Legion and see her for yourself!
