Spot the CMP
 

I recently discovered this RAF photo among a lot of old photos i had and was drawn to a familiar shape.

Photo taken by a British service man 1945 Holland or Belgium. Truck has number 674 and 159. Photo from my collection.

Nice image
 

Very good image, looks like a C15.

I suggest 3 ton class rather than 15 cwt. I base this on the tyres appearing to be more likely 20" than 16" (matching the truck ahead) and the bridge class 8 being typical of 3 ton rather than the 5 which would be typical of a C15A.

The actual bridge class of a 3 ton vehicle could vary depending if it was mainly an empty box (e.g. a dental office) or crammed with metal bits (signals construction).

Any idea what the 3-digit stencil, top centre of the tarp means? Looks like ‘C44’.

I have never noticed that Type/Location for markings before.

I don't have any significant knowledge of markings but wonder if the marking is 044 and if it might match the last three of the truck's census number to discourage "borrowing" of the tarp? Or, to help drivers, loaders and others identify a particular truck from the front? Very much a guess...

Grant, Keith was referring to the pic posted by Ollie Higgins (hence the quote). The C15 4x2 has a distinctive front hub.

I count 6 CMP's, Dodge D60S tippers and a HUP but may be wrong!

Israeli sandwich trucks (not food related)
 

When a sandwich truck doesn't serve food.

"The type of vehicle above was nicknamed "Monster" and was based on a Canadian Miltiary (sic) Pattern (CMP) 15 cwt. Truck. It was equipped with a battering ram and had circular armored plates fashioned from farm plow disks."

Keith , your pictures are taken in Belgium.

Found on Flickr.....but supposedly originally from "The School of Tank Technology"

CMP FAT recovering 88-mm gun.

Original Toronto Star caption: "Retreating Germans abandoned this 88 mm. gun in perfect condition when they scurried away from the victorious British Eighth army. Although the enemy was only a few thousand yards ahead at the time; poor visibility prevented their noticing this recovery crew The fact that no one took time to destroy the gun's firing mechanism indicates the haste with which the Nazis fell back. Several times during the advance; so much equipment fell into British hands that days were required to sort it out.
Date: 12/5/1942"
