As usual there was a nice selection of Military Vehicles, some of which joined the "Race to the Bridge", while others drove a similar tour of the Battlefield.
I was really stunned to find 3 Ford F8's on the Ginkel Heath.....yes......3.....THREE! Tres, Trois, drei, drie!! It's funny to see that all of them were different in certain details.
Hanno, time to update the list of Dutch CMP's!

Thanks for adding these pistures to the database, Alex! Methinks these three were all imported by Dirk. I see the Witten F8 is now sporting a census number and a white star. Pity, with that Light Stone colour I would have opted for a North African camouflage scheme (remember the white star was only added to vehicles prior to D-Day).
Oh, and thanks for the C8A picture, hadn´t one of that one yet. Any more pics of CMPs?
