some dusty military junk!
Hi all,
Headed to Toronto this past weekend to visit forum member Des Thomas. We hit all the junk shops, 2nd hand clothing stores, and antique shops that we could find. Not to mention the Toronto Military Show in Etobicoke. We both did pretty well purchasewise (as you can see on my end). With a few bucks and some crafty trading I made out okay.
Aside from all the militaria hunting we headed to Hamilton, ON and visited the HMCS Haida. She's a WWII era Tribal Class Destroyer (last of her kind) that has been turned into a floating museum. I fully expected it to be a dry guided tour but was pleasently surprised when we were handed a pamphlet and turned loose to explore every inch of this ship. It was amazing!!! If anyone is ever there I strongly recommend going to se her as she's one of a kind. Will post pictures of the ship as time permits.
Cheers,
Greg
