In the background
Just came across this pic with a 15 cwt CMP in the background (missing a mudguard) and wondered what similar pics you people may have come across where the CMP was incidental to the photograph.

Keith do these qualify
Les |
Sure do!
Nice images. I like the one where they've taken the V8 out to show how superior it is. ;)
|
And in that pic with the Ford V8 on the ground (Les's 1st pic), Wot Jamaica the vehicle behind that? Does the windscreen appear vertical to you? Do the door windows appear to be of an unusual pattern? Is it a CMP... (Bedford, innit?)?

They must be playing "put a Ford V8 on the ground and put a Bedford 6-inline next to it, and tell me which one is superior". H. |

Hi Keith;
Does this qualify ......

Qualify?

Well found, Mark. |
Maybe two D15's ?
Quote:
Note that the furthest one has a had cab with a passengers side rectangular hatch - much more likely to be a RHD D15 than any other Dodge methinks. Gordon |

Check out the paint job on the C15a in the picture with the Fw190. Really nice foliage pattern in accordance with MTP 46. Goes to show that the order of no repainting until needed was followed.

Here is a photo I copied at an airshow years ago from the display with a P40. See if you can guess the Theatre of Action.

Sign
You couldn't get away with a sign like that in today's politically correct environment, could you.
Looks like an ambulance. |
