Youtube footage C2 rollout Gagetown 99

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

HI all I just came across this on you tube,

Was wondering was this to show the Leo 1 upgraded to the C2 standard? I wasn't sure what the hoopla was back in the day so I assume before this time period they were still the Leo 1 configuration from when they were delivered to the CF from Germany.

Thanks.

Hey, that looks like the FATS C2 Simulator... I've had a go on that

I look forward to seeing footage of a similar ceremony for the new Leopards we're getting.

You will not be seeing any of those in Canada for a few years still.

That was me commanding the C2 that was in all of the pictures.  And I was the commander when Gen Leach squeezed in to the gunners hole and hit the T72.  That's also me doing all of the babbling at the five minute mark.....

Those were indeed scenes from the LCGT, which was produced by Siemens (NL).  FATS has the maintenance contract.

That brought back some memories!
