Army Navy and Air Force Veterans of Canada Unit 302 has an outdoor display consisting of a M4A2 (76)Sherman tank named "Cheetah", a WW2 navy deck gun, and a Canadair Sabre jet.
This variant of the famous WW2 Sherman tank had twin GM 6046 diesel engines, a wide track HVSS Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension, and a M1A2 76 mm main gun, which was more effective against German tanks than the L/4 M3 75 mm gun fitted to most Shermans (but not nearly as powerful as the QF 17-pounder fitted to many British Shermans--which became known as the Firefly--or the guns of the German tanks it faced).
