More today inside Lebreton Gallery, with its impressive collection of tanks.
The Voodoo is quite a sight.
This is another of my favourite artifacts in the Museum. This collection of barrels and instruments is Weather Station Kurt. During the Second World War, a German u-boat landed at the northern end of Labrador, a remote area, and set up a weather station. It worked for a short time before ceasing to function. It then went forgotten, until the late 70s, when a German researcher going through wartime naval records found mention of it. Given the remoteness of its location and the fact that it looked like a Canadian government installation, it's not surprising it went unnoticed. Kurt was brought here.
The tanks resonate with power.
These are examples of helicopter nose art, painted by Corporal Richard Aucoin during the Afghan War.
We'll continue here tomorrow.
